Snipe added a post in a topic Luga NR prop selection
I have a 2 blade 74 inch Ivoprop and getting a bit of vibration above 5000 rpm. It’s tight and carbs are balanced. I am leaning towards a 3 blade because they are normally a bit smoother but I have two different lengths recommended by 2 suppliers 67 inches and 72 inches. You are in the middle with a 69 inch two blade. Now I am really confused

Luga NR prop selectionI am trying to figure what length of a schmitar luga prop for my 912UL 80hp powered Merlin E-Z. I have a 2 blade 74 inch Ivoprop on it now.
Looking at a 2 blade or 3 blade schmitar. What length on a 80hp 912?

84 hrs on these boards now. I think I will change them out as they are fairly old and where not high quality snow boards to begin with.

Blue grass is good, rye grass not so as it is a bunch grass that grows in clumps. I don’t think you will ever have a smooth runway with rye grass in the mix.

Snipe added a post in a topic Grove gear coming what wheels and brakes do I need?
Thanks Av8r I take it grove are superior to matco brakes and wheels by reflecting on what they cost? This conversion isn’t going to be cheap the Canadian peso doesn’t buy much these days.

Snipe added a post in a topic Grove gear pics
In the above 3 photos with gear that’s painted red yellow and black it looks like the brackets for the grove gear are homemade. What material is used cold rolled steel? What thickness would be needed? If I go grove I need to build these brackets.

I would consider his gear. How do I get a hold of him to see if he is interested in building a set?

I give Grove a call....they make the gear but building a mount would be up to me as they say they don’t make the mounts for their gear. Still searching.

Iv2ply have you any updates on your Merlin project. I have one and need landing gear for it also. I could use some good advise on what direction to go with it. I see some neat looking custom built gear for avids and kitfox aircraft on here but can’t find any contact information on them to see if they could build one for my Merlin.
