KR> O200 prop

[GavinandLouise]

C'mon all you Aussie builders you're a bit slow LOL! I can't believe that 
last night while thinking about what rego mark I'll use I checked the CASA 
site, and there is only one VH-KR registration mark left. So VH-KRD it will be!
So I've emailed CASA to hold it for me. 
VH-KRD was the mark used by a good friend of mine when he built his KR many 
years ago, he sold the aircraft and the new owner re-registered it in the 
ultralight category.
Not long after that the new owner crashed at low altitude in a tight turn and 
from information of witnesses it has been speculated that he stalled at high 
speed, Unfortunately it was a fatal accident. 
My friend who built this KR is also helping me with information on my project, 
he also makes propellers.
I've just overhauled an O200 Continental for it, and am wondering what the 
final prop selection any of you using them have come up with is?? I've checked 
the archives but the information on there is mostly speculation of what people 
are going to use.

Thanks 
Gav

There are a few 19- registered KRs here though and mine will be no
exception.

Mine is 68" diameter by 66 pitch and is designed to keep me under the
2750 redline unless diving.

KR> O200 prop

Don't know if this will be useful, but I have an A65 (65 HP @ 2300 rpm)
with a 58" 3 blade (tapered) Warp Drive set at 64.5 " pitch.  It turns 2200
static and 2300 full throttle straight & level.

I'm running an Ed Sterba 60D X 64P on my 0-200.  I think it's a bit 
more tired than other 0-200's in KR's as it has 1850 hours since 
factory overhaul.  I started with a 68 pitch but couldn't get the RPM
I wanted.  I had it repitched to a 64.  I get 2650 rpm full throttle
at cruise and generally cruise at that power setting.  When I get
wheel covers install I'll probably get another 10 mph and some
additional rpm.  My 0-200 is "stock" the way it came from the
C-150.  Many of the KR's running 0-200's have them putting out
120+ hp and thus need more prop.  They have upped the compresson
and advanced the timing and "require" 100LL.  I'm running 
87 oct auto fuel.  I figured "stock" and simple was more reliable.
I also like the price differance between the two fuels.

Start on the high end with the pitch.  You can repitch it flatter but
you can't add pitch later.

Thanks Larry, we were thinking about 60" D x 66" P so I guess we'll go with
that for now.
