I was hopeing someone with way more knowledge than me would respond but no that doesn't sound like the correct way to measure from wings. I think you have to take the wing centreline front & rear to come up with 6*(??). or use the flying attitude of the plane for 4*(??). Question marks to indica...

Senior, That 76" Sensenich is a 74" prop. The -2 indicates a 76" blank that is 2" shorter. Just put on the 1A105 SCM McCauley, it's got a good blade design and a 71" with 44-48" of pitch will do. It all kind of depends what type of flying you do. Paul Yes, reading to f...

It then became a 71" to avoid harmonic issues. Anyhow - the best prop I ever had - smoooooth, speedy, good take off - would highly recommend. Sensenich wood props are great for air boats, or for chocks... :mrgreen: If I'm not mistaken, floatplanes with a 85hp are ok with 74" props, Do flo...

My experiences from real world practice. With a simple ventura & jet change (& yes drilled caps) my 65hp went from struggling to pull 2150 on climb out to 2450 with the same prop! I can not be anything but more hp or tq to spin the same prop (74-42) faster. I then went to a 72-42(now at 2500...

legally probably very hard

but I hear a jet & ventura change along with a prop repitch gives a great boost

That's such a tough question, just because it's a 65hp doesn't mean all 65s are equal. Here's an example, my 65 chief would only turn 2000rpm with the 74-44 it came with. I had it retwisted to 74-42 & it spun up to 2250-2300rpm, no loss of speed & much better take-off. I then built an exper ...

Has anyone had or doe's anyone know of an Aeronca Chief on Full lotus floats yet? I'm still looking for float gear for a Chief on 1320's I have Champ gear that I can trade or sell. Ken 705-759-7581 Ken did you by chance get your Chief out of Belleville area? Full Lotus are not approved for Certifie...

Whats the value of a good working Off/On Wing Tank Fuel Tap.
I have an extra a member wants but I need an idea for value?

Thanks

Well I can't comment on VGs on a Chief, but I can see a great use for them. Maybe not for you guys down in flatland country where even grass strips are 2,000' or more, but I fly a 65 Chief out of 1,100' with trees on both ends, almost always 2 people. Flying slow has it's benifits on short fields &a...

Carl: I hate E-bay, I would rather some-one that could use it got a deal.

I got this Ward Areo gen & Prestolite VR with a project I bought. It looks in real nice shape, can't guarrentee it works but I don't see why not. Prop has absolutely no nicks or wear. Very light surface rust on case...see pic Like to get rid of it. What's it's value on the market? http://www.hun...

Is there any availability for the O rings on the 65hp quick drains? They have a flat on one side, I don't see why a regular O ring wouldn't work providing it was the correct thickness?? Is there a correct way to remove them other than hot water & stretch? Looks like the end is riveted on but I c...
