    I had to order my prop from Ukraine and had to send it back for warenty
    While it was sent back I used my old warp drive prop
    Liking the luga prop I decided to purchase a spare when he sent my original one back from warranty , I also have a 3 and a 2 blade hub and 6 blades 79”
    My motor is a 140 hp Yamaha

    I too am looking at the Luga.
    Currently I have a 70" ground adjustable Warp Drive prop. with the metal leading edge. Never flew behind it.
    My 912 big bore will need a new prop and possibly a change of gear box ratios.
    The guys at Zipper have the engine and recommended both a gear ratio change and the two blade Luga.
    A friend who has a series 5, 80hp. rotax and the warp drive 3 blade says to stick to a three blade for smoothness.
    I'm no bush pilot and most of time, at first, will be local airports, grass strips and cross country work. I don't have
    enough experience with any of the prop's for a 912 to have a valid opinion.
    I have no idea which way to go but the current prop I have atm will have to be changed.
    Anyone that has a Luga let us know how you like it.

    ok, nobody is mentioning this. what is the cruise speed of this luga? I'm satisfied with 800fpm at 50mph right off the deck, yup feels like straight up. My cruise is 120 all day long. Ivo medium inflight adjust.

    Once you ordered your prop how long did it take to receive it from the Ukraine ?

    Edward, are you using two or three blade? I am in the process of installing the rx1 also. About to order a prop too. I already have a np prop on my jabiru and love it.
