    Gotcha,  the early one my prop would go over but not the later.  I need to double check my measurements with caliper.

    I would like some sort of test prop for when I put the Jab on a test stand.  This warp drive doesn't sound like it will work in that case either.  By the way the cylinders do have some corrosion after borescoping yesterday. I will be pulling and hone them. Probably due some updates then.

    I'll get the caliper on it later and let you know, but sounds like its a wall ornament. Lol!

    Like to just get what you guys spin. Proven experience is key from you guys,  I'm learning here. Doesn't sound like Warp drive is very friendly to Jabiru owners. Nick at Arion, Jabiru supplier says he sells Sensitech. Not sure.
    Tjay, I got a quote from Norman at Luga for your prop size you sent me.  
    I think something ground adjustable would be good but like Jim said wood is nice.  Not sure.  Buy both and find out $$$.
    Thanks

    I think its a HPL-R three blade hub.  Going by warp drives downloads. 
    Its 54 inch.
    Prop was just some parts there when I bought the engine.  Gave a small price to throw it into the deal.

    I bought the jabiru 2200 and also a Warp Drive 3 blade prop the guy had. The diameter is to small and need longer blades.  Curious why Warp Drive wouldn't sell prop for a Jabiru ?

    Going tomorrow to pick it up 
    SN A1230.  Just fishing here to see what props you guys are running  and looking for a motor mount.  
    Working now so chat is short.  Got many more questions later.

    I was looking at the 3 blades on the Luga site.  Your using two blade,  cool.
    The engine Im picking up is a crate gen 1.  Yes been setting a while and I have to go through it and put on test stand to run a while.  I will need another "test" prop if the wait time is 8 months.  If not longer due to this covid stuff.  I will contact Luga if your happy with it.
    I had a discussion with Nick, Arion Aircraft he suggested Sensitech.  
    Thanks!

    I assume the C Model cowling was for a 2 stroke 582?  What are you asking for it and could you ship to Ohio?

    I need to ask basically the same question about fusalge paint Avid used on my C Model. Mine has some surface rust that needs touched up. Any help on color and manufacturer of epoxy used?

    JimChuk,
    I guess I'm looking for a member with a C model that has done the mod, and running a Jab or 912, before and after results. And was the effort worth it.
    I also want to upgrade tail feathers to MK IV while I'm at it.  
    Thanks, Jumpingjack

    So, I just cut the forward tube and the two brace tubes, center and reweld?

  23. Jumpingjack added a post in a topic Offset Vertical Stabilizer   

    So I ran two string lines from the VS to estimate where shiming the mount would need to be , one sting is centerline and the other is parallel with the offset VS.
    I don't have an engine or mount so I used two strips of plywood and extended 23 inches, from firewall to guesstimate prop flang location, and come up with    4.92 in from center to offset. That looks to be the amount need to shim to be inline with the VS.
    I think centering the VS would reduce drag.
    Learning stuff here,  any thoughts appreciated.

    Offset Vertical Stabilizer
    I would like to center the vertical stabilizer (remove offset) on my C Model for installing a four stroke CW rotation engine Jabiru or 912 Rotax. Don't think i want trim tabs to make up for it.  Also, not sure about shiming the motor mount to compensate.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
    First has anyone done it?
    Second is it worth it

  25. Jumpingjack added a post in a topic Apex in a Avid C Model Thoughts   

    Pascal,
    Thank you for your very common sense approach to engine options. A bolt in safe proven option would be my first choice so the rotax 912 would be it.  This is the engine the manufacturers of ready to fly light Sport aircraft are using hands down. I witnessed this at Sun n Fun last year.  
    With the 912 I shouldn't have to do all the fuselage mods and keep it as designed. 
    As you say and one of my biggest concerns is my airstrip with trees at each end.  Proven reliability of the 912 would ease my concerns considerably.
    Again thanks fo your advice!
