Modest Pilot Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Fitted the new Sensenish 62" X 56" prop today. Climb: Better requires further testing. Cruise: 124KN @ 1500ft. 14C; F/F 22.5 lt/hr @ 2800rpm; Oil temp 85; CHT 250F; EGT 700C . Max Pwr: 140kn. 3100rpm. 34lt/hr. Smoother, much better than dynamically balance previous prop. Jabiru LSA approved for all except J160. $Cost: $1400 Aus from Jabiru ex Bundy. :thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacmiles Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 This new prop,What aircraft was this trialed on? Is it approved For their new J120? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenns Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yes I seen the first of these at my last visit to Jabiru. These were a hardwood prop as apposed to the softwood used by Jabiur and they were slightly modifying the pitch at the time and waiting for a new batch to arrive from the US. I gather this is that batch? Is it fitted to the J230C/D LSA? What was your climb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modest Pilot Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Sorry still recoverying from Oshkosh trip! Mine's a J230D, the T/O weight was 570KG. Rod said all but the J160. Don't know if it has trialled on the J120. I always climb out after clean up at 80 - 90 Kn so hard to say. If you want to go for climb go for the 53" pitch. You'll get 1000'+ a min. Will get to 140KN OK but overspeeds I'm told. (3400rpm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
