Way Frikkin Vastly Superior Sensenich Carbon Fibre Prop
| Author | Message | ||

Installed the Sensenich 68" prop today. WOW! What a difference. The increased efficiency was insane.
Climb out at over 1000fpm (1st pic), cruise at 70 knots at under 4500 rpm, flat out at the top of the green over 90 kts. I had no idea what a difference a top notch prop could make. Hollow carbon fibre with nickel leading edges. Also beautifully machined, and assembled and installed in less than 20 minutes. Pitch changes with the ingenious pin system take less than 5 minutes. I could not get her to redline even at the lowest pitch, which is where we left it. Noticeably quieter as well and I expect fuel efficiency will also be vastly superior. And it looks over the top fikkin superior!. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

What did it have before? Not one of those frenchy french wind spoons?
Sensenich has built a prop or two.....far superior props. _________________ It's never too late to be a bad example. I spent all my money on Bikes, Broads, and Booze, the rest I wasted. |

My brother-in-law designed those props and he's rightfully proud of them.
See what kind of a deal I get when the time comes.  |
