Now that have have better cooling, I am able to use more power and needed
a bigger prop. I installed a Catto 3-blade with more pitch and really
loved it.
My old prop, seen in these pictures was meant for a normally aspirated
13B turning left handed (RD-1A and RD-1B).
It is 68"x74" Aymar Demuth wood and served me well for 200 hrs.
If you are like me you can use this as a cheap starter prop to get
performance data that you will want before you get a custom prop built.
$700 firm INCLUDES Shipping and the spinner seen in the picture (now in
gray primer).

I think this needs a bit more info Dave. What HP and RPM do you think it
is suited for? The RD1A and RD1-B are 2.17:1 ratio gear boxes as I recall.
Is that correct? What HP do you think you have now?
How fast are you going and what is your climb rate?
