My KR2 with a Revmaster 2100D has a Sterba 54X50 prop and my static is still too high at 3400 RPM. Maybe you should check your engine to see if it is putting out all the power it should.

I was only able to turn about 2500 rpm, the climb was poor and the speed was dismal. This prop was supplied by the person who I bought the engine from and he said that he had ran it on his KR2, but I don't believe it. I now have two props that I use, my normal cruise prop is a 52 X 47 and works quite well, it is made by Aymar-Demuth, the second one is a climb prop and is a 50 X 42. I use this one to achieve maximum take off performance especially after making modifications to the aircraft until everything is verified to be safe. I have a 1835 turbo charged VW installed. Hope this info is of some use.

It's a 53" prop, on an 1835 (presumably HAPI) VW. 1) Is repairing such a crack safe/economical, and if so, how does one go about doing it? 2) What is the 'normal' range of prop dimensions for a KR-2 with an 1835? Eg, how do I determine what to replace this prop with, if fixing it is out the window? _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
