I am not in a heated hanger (bummer) and the weather here is miserable temperature wise. Tomorrow, snow and a high of 30° and Sunday snow with a high of 14° is predicted. There is only one day that snow is not predicted here in the next 7 days and only two days above freezing. The winds here have also been very heavy lately. Trust me, I will fly the plane as soon as possible.

I talked personally with Ed Sturba, and he said he'd only double drill props he had made. I also checked with Ted Hendrickson, here locally and he said he is fully retired. The people he sold his business to back east folded. The prop I have is a 52 x 50 Hendrickson drilled for SAE 1. I was going to initially try to use this one on the Type 4 engine I have, but Ideally will probably be better off with a 52 x 54 drilled for VW. Mark are the props you have listed on your web site.

The HD relates to the length of the Ethylene polymer chains, as well as the resulting molecular weight of the polymer. Typical applications for HDPE are e.g. those shopping bags you get at the grocery store. LDPE, or low density polyethylene, is mostly used in polyethylene films for cheap packaging, such as around diapers or the magazines that are mailed.

I seem to recall that MANY years ago when I adapted a Corvair engine for an airboat that it had a machined adapter that bolted to the crank and then the SAE1 drilled prop bolted to that. Might not be airworthy but it worked on the pusher installation on the airboat. I got another hour in the KR this afternoon and ,after the recent posts, I made a few mental notes on the several landings I got in. Turning downwind to base at approx 100 to 110 mph indicated and approx 1700 rpm, lowering my speed brake drops the speed to 90 with the same pitch attitude. Cutting the power to 1300 rpm drops the speed to 80 mph on final and short final I cut to idle and can lower the nose a bit more while slowing to 70 mph indicated. Without a speed brake, 70 over the numbers might be a bit fast. 1300 rpm and 80 indicated give me a 500 fpm decent. Man that puppy touches down SOFT !! YEEEEE HAAAAAAA I did a couple of zoom-up from 140mph indicated to 100mph indicated and got 500 feet of altitude. My daughter would love the 0 G pushovers at the top !!!

It would be like a prop hub extension with one pattern on one side and the other on the other side. But then, you would have to have made your cowling to accept the prop hub extension unless you were just trying to get static.
