Snipe added a post in a topic Luga NR prop selection
No I sold my Merlin with the IVO and sold the Luga to another guy. Looking back I wish I would have tried the Luga. The plane I own now had a timed out Hartzel CS and I replaced it with a MT wow what a difference plus it was 28 lbs lighter

Yes it went back to Alberta. It’s parked in a brand new hanger in Vulcan. There are days I wish I still owned it.

This balance tube conversation is very interesting. I always have a out of balance situation somewhere in the mid rpm range and it’s next on my list of things to do. I am going to use 1/4 to 1/2 inch off of manifold then 1/2 inch Id pipe for crossover as I can do this quick...if it gets rid of mid range out of balance I won’t go any further. My cowl only will give me about 1/2 of clearance over the stock balance tube so it going to be a challenge to go 1”. I increased discharge hose size on my sprayer nurse tank from 2” to 2 1/2” without changing anything else and it was a day and night differance so hoping it works on the balance tube as well.

I was doing a bit of eyeballing the old prop vs new for blade to cowl clearance, with prop pitched fairly course which is likely to course there is about 1/2 clearance between back of blade and cowl. Will I need a spacer? I am going to use a spinner like the one Tjay has so no clearance needed there.

He sent me a lengthy letter when I inquired about were my prop was. He said the Amazon like company that owned the building he was in gave him the boot and then he was also shut down due to the flu so it sounded like he was or still is a one man show for time being.

I also notice there is no mounting hardware came with it so will have to find some in N America I can’t wait for them to come from overseas.

My NR Prop arrived but no installation information with it. Is there a link somewhere I can get information.

apparently the sharks have better heaters in their private jets so they figured there’s no need for warm clothing.

Just went out to plug-in auger and fire up semi and it feels like summer at a balmy 1 degree Fahrenheit. Still dark and birds are chirping and coyotes making a racket so I am not the only one enjoying the warm weather.

Those electric seat heaters sound like a good idea. Has anyone tried out those Milwaukee electric jackets? They should keep you warm before and after the flight also.
