Luga prop

[little rocket]

Anyone flying the 2 blade luga ground adjustable prop on the rotax 912, that would like to comment on how it performs?
THANKS

Before his 915 swap, that is what Trent Palmer was running...

Trent liked his so much, Nikk bought one also.

I just found out that Trent is using a ground adjustable fixed prop on his new 915is while he is waiting for the constant speed prop to arrive. Wow! His super performance at High Sierra was with a fixed prop! I can't imagine what he will do when the cs prop is installed; talk about a cub killer, we haven't seen nothin yet.

I have one on mine . But with Yamaha Rx1
Big difference between the warp drive prop
600fpm at 70 mph compared to 2200fpm at 70 mph. My warp drive prop is 72” and my luga is 79”

I am currently flying with a 75" 3 blade Whirlwind.
The Whirlwind is smooth and performs well.
I also am interested in the 2 blade Luga's performance since this prop is about 1/3 the cost and would most likely weigh less.
From talking to Hal Stockman (rotax big bore kits) I get the impression the 2 blade will not be as smooth as a 3 blade.

Too bad you didn’t live closer I have a spare prop with a 2 blade hub that you could try out

[herman pahls]

Thanks for the offer.
Does having a spare mean you currently fly the same Luga?
How long is the luga, 2 blade, Rotax 912, ?
How do you like the luga and have you flown other props to compare?

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
