Pete asked- >My engine is a 3.0 liter Corvair that dyno'd at 95 HP at 3100 RPM
>what other info do I need to supply to a prop manufacturer. Give them the prop diameter and that will help the prop supplier zero in on the pitch based on the individual prop builder's blade design and recommendations. Prop diameter on KRs is fairly consistent given the required ground clearance and the airframe geometry that sets the thrust line, but there are variations between the original retract versions, the tri-gear, and the KRs with the longer main landing gear legs. When you actually order a prop they will of course need to know that the Corvair turns the opposite of "normal" aircraft engines, and they'll also need to know about the counterbore through the hub for the safety shaft, drive lugs if your prop hub has them, and the bolt pattern.
