P-Tip Prop fitted to Jabiru

[jwatts]

Hi to all,

 

I have been researching propellers fitted to the J430. I have come across this web site Prince Aircraft Company

 

I was wondering if any of you have fitted or known anyone to have fitted a P-Tip Propeller from PAC?

 

Automatic pitch changing? Hmmm...best of both worlds? Could it be too true? Great short field take-off and no loss of airspeed?

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers, Jayden

automatic pitch changing no but the carbon fiber coated one was a great tuff prop on the 2200 j170 heaps less trouble than jab props

Pitch variation.

 

This is a possibility. IF you are serious about this ask the makers to provide you with a list of customers and get the facts from them. Flexible propellers can respond to both centrifugal forces and aerodynamic forces, which can twist the prop. Nev

Thanks Nev, I have emailed them now awaiting a reply. I'll post something once I hear some confirmed results.

You could try the Sonex site. Look up the video on Tony Spicer's Sonex. He was very happy with his Prince prop, but although the pitch did go courser in cruise it was not by very much.
