MIm20c Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I know there was some talk about fitting an S prop on a bravo a few years back. Any recent news? Thinking it could could really close the gap between the bravo and the rocket/acclaim. 200kts a reality at non O2 altitudes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping at the very least it will be quieter with less vibration like when I fly in a newer Ovation. I'm sure some of the difference is with the newer plane, better sound proofing, and engine, but I think prop has a lot to do with it.

MB65E Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Crank flanges are totally different between the two engines. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d assume most of the hub is the same between similar models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxMike Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 The Bravo is STCed for an MT prop. I put one on my Bravo and love it. Much less vibration and racket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
