There are a number of props out there. You might look into Warp Props I put one on an 0290 on a Thorpe. I'm very happy with it. It's a three blade. Price was very good and delivery was pretty quick. It had a cado prop 2 blade before picked up a nut off of the runway and damage the prop so I put that warp drive on Performance is almost identical with an O290 in the Thorpe, I can do 120 kn pretty much all day long.

Sorry William but I sold the engine
and the prop before to leave France and have no info about it.
I will read all the papers I had from the initial builder. If I
find something I'll post here.

Jean, what prop are you using. I’m building a kr1 here in the US
and having a hard time finding a 3 blade that will work with the
low ground clearance. I am using a Yamaha RX1 with the C drive
detuned to 100hp. Welcome to the group.

Welcome, I am certain with the experience that you
already have from the past projects that just learning
to layup fiberglass will be no problem... I tell pople
if I can do it anyone can...
Looking at the pictures it seems that you have a
project well along to completion. I recently spoke to a
long time builder that has seen the light and converted
to trigear. If the fuselage is not been built as a
stretched length I would seriouly consider changing to a
fixed Trigear configuration for ground handling and
landing safety...
best of luck,
Looing forewoard to seeing progress

Subject: KRnet> new builder
from France
Hi
all and thank you for your welcome et your
encouragement.
Right now, as we have just arrived from Africa, we
are living in a very small apartment while waiting
to find a house with a workshop. My wife really
doesn't want an airplane under construction on her
kitchen table (I ask why ;o)). The plane is
currently at a friend's house. First I will have
to find all the documentation that has been in a
storage facility for 7 years, then I will
translate and study the plans (translation is a
good way to study the plan) and finally finish the
building.
I would like to make some modifications as change
the retractable gear for a fixed one and install a
Jabiru 2200, that I already own, instead of the
VWW 1700 which was dismantled and sold 7 years
ago.
I want to register this plane in the French ULM
category so the weight will be a permanent concern
or DGAC (french air authority) will not accept to
register.
I already built two planes, a Jodel D112 and a
Piel Emeraude but they were both classical wood
and fabric, the traditional homebuilding in
France. I never use foam and fiber, that's
completely new for me.
I think I will need your knowledge and your
patience and I thank you in advance.
