Considering a prop upgrade

[mike92104]

I was looking at the E-Prop Glorieuse the other day. Looked like an interesting alternative.

I too am in the market for a new prob. Currently flying a 3-blade 68" Warp Drive. It has good performance, but a little heavy and not easily ground adjustable. I've been debating on the Duc easy ground adjust or IFA. The e-prob looks almost too good to be true. 4kg for hydraulic IFA with electronic control?!? I've got to see one of these things in action.

Has anyone looked in the Sensenich GA prop? Repitch uses an indexing pin and can be done in about 10 mins including spinner removal. Pre determined pitch pins you slide in and just rotate the blades until they touch. Not sure they make one for the Rotax hub, but Im betting you could find a adapter to run it. Real slick setup.

Thats what I have my Continental 0-200 attached to , I love it. Yes they make them for Rotax hubs, two and three blade models.

So, I’m wondering if your Sensenich is a two blade and what the diameter is? I am always thinking about what prop I will use on my 912 ULS powered Vixen (currently using a Ivo Ultralight). The seemingly more efficient blade angle adjustments (used by the Sensenich) is very attractive. Sensenich has been around for lots of years and is a domestic company (made in the USA).

I am also curious about whether Sensenich will eventually get into carbon fiber ground adjustable propellers for a Cessna 150 Certified aircraft (I have one of those too). As of now, Sensenich does have a STC’d prop for the O-200 and O-235 on Cubs.
