Well, after a week of bad weather I finally got to go up and just fly around for an hour or so. I got to try out a NEW Sensnich 54X54 prop. A beautiful prop to say the least. Takeoff roll was shorter than normal and the climb performance was real good. Static was 3100 and climb out was 3200 at 100mph. 25" MAP /3300/ cruise at 3500' 80'temp gave me an average of 160 mph. Full power 3500 rpm at same altitude gave me about 178 mph. It may be a little bit slower than my Prince prop but it ran smoother. The speed may come up since I didnt have a spinner on the plane for the test. I will do a bit more testing to get hard numbers for all you folks but this appears to be a real good prop for the KR and the speeds we run with the Corvair engine. Still having fun - way to go MARK!
