Two Bladed Ground Adjustable Propeller for the
Continental O-200, IO-240 and Lycoming O-235

Background:
Sensenich developed it's first two bladed ground adjustable composite
propeller for the airboat market over 8 years ago. Since then we have
developed three, four and 5 bladed props for that market. About three years
ago we started design work on the Rotax and Jabiru engines. These propellers
have been selling for two years now. Due to the success of this line of
propellers, we began developing the propeller for the Continental O-200,
IO-240 and Lycoming O-235 engines.

Update:
We have successfully concluded the pull tests for the new propeller. We have
several prototypes out accumulating time right now on the Continental O-200.
We hope to run our vibration survey tests in late June. If this is completed
successfully, we believe the O-200 propeller will be available for sale in
late July of 2007.

Keep in mind that these propellers are for Experimental and Light Sport
Category only.

I wonder "How much over $1000.00 these will sell for??? Karibian

Look at the www.eggenfellneraircraft.com/Products.htm web site.  They are
asking
$3500 for a Sensenich 3 blade ground adjustable on a subaru.

I talked to Sensenich about using one of these new props on a 13B Long Ez.
They
were not  interested in selling one for this setup until they had done their
own testing.

Wow! that is a lot of money. Maybe we don't need them after all.
Perhaps Eggenfellner is making their own hub. I think I tried a year
ago to connect Sensenich with Tracy Crook in Bell FL. Tracy was willing
to do some testing on his rotary engine test stand.
