Guys,
I have had to have my Sensenich wooden prop refinished three times in the past two years, due to chips being thrown up into it or the latest case flying through a shower (see photos attached). It seems that these painted leading edge props are not designed for anything but light usage. Hence I am looking to change to a GT with metal leading edge, specifically the GT2-151VZR (shown in the photo attached).
Does anyone have any experience running this prop on a Jabiru J160, or any other Jabiru powered aircraft? I am likely to go for one which is finer than the standard, and gives a static of 2800-2850. Reason being the J160 has short wings and doesn’t get off the ground quickly if you are at MAUW.
