stevron Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 My Airmaster is rated at 60 Hp per blade in an AP430 hub, how many Hp is your small Lycoming? 115 hp at 2800 but in real life 100 hp at 2600rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 An AP332 hub takes 60mm blades, like Bolly, and are rated upto 40Hp per blade, from memory. I was keen on Sensenich blades but ended up with Whirlwind Razor blades, both of which have a 70mm boss, hence the upgrade, but also came with a small weight penalty.

Downunder Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Airmaster Propellers Home page shows a O-235 Lancair with airmaster prop... If you already have one of their "supported" blades, you can send them to airmaster to be modified and fitted to your IFA unit. (Saves buying new blades) Blades|Airmaster Propellers Hub for a 2 blade O-235 AH-523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Be aware that a 70 inch prop installed in an Airmaster hub will have a larger diameter than it had in, say, your existing Bolly hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Borgelt Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 These guys are producing props for Jabs and Rotax and in development is the model for Lycomings. Direct drive 4 cylinder engines have only 2 power pulses per rev. Rotax have 4. Higher loads in the Lyco case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul davenport Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 And how much improvement on a fixed pitch was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have no idea on that question! Mine came factory fitted. I cruise nicely in calm air at about 5300rpm, WOT at about 115kts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul davenport Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 And what is a sporty ? What does it look like? I would like to know what difference it would make to my j230. Spending up to $13000 to find out it’s ,not as good as the sales puff would hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul davenport Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 You can park it in my hanger any time you like. Flew on in Shepparton once with Peter Harlow from memory it was well balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 They fly amazingly well. Very stable and very predictable. Comfy enough, although I would love some higher backed seats. But that would restrict access to the storage behind the pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
