testwest Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Ok, check it out, apples to apples comparison of the Hartzell Top Prop BA (Blended Airfoil) prop versus the standard C212 McCauley in Benchmark. About 2 knot speed gain at a representative cruise condition.....matches very close what I found in flight test. Quote
John Pleisse Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 And I hear combined with the IO-390 (pricey and prohibitive), the net speed gain is nearly 6 KIAS. That aside, the top prop is just a great upgrade, seeking speed or not. This is great data. I read with interest. Keep it coming!! Thanks Norman. Quote
M016576 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Nice. Its a wonderful thing to see independent reviews that use empirical data, vice the glossy brochure of the company selling the product... Quote
