Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
No flight plan was filed for the flight that departed Mineral Wells Airport (MWL), about 1415, and destined for Grand Prairie Municipal Airport (GPM), Grand Prairie, Texas. The airplane was registered to the pilot and two other owners and operated by the pilot. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured.
Some people like a thinner blade, while others prefer the “beefier” look.On August 5, 2011, approximately 1430 central daylight time, N7689W, a Piper PA-28-180, sustained substantial damage after a section of propeller blade separated in flight and the pilot made a forced landing on a highway near Millsap, Texas. Some folks prefer the look of three blades, while others prefer two.
The sound/pitch is different, although the measured noise level is about the same (they are the same diameter).Īnd, of course, there’s the aesthetics: The blades are wider on the two-blade prop. Propeller braking action was slightly greater, which allowed a slightly steeper descent angle in the pattern. Cruise performance was the same (at lower altitudes). People will, of course, want to know what’s different between the two-blade and three-blade prop. Once an aircraft has been licensed and registered ELSA you may, of course, make any changes as you wish. Note that when building your airplane, in order to register ELSA the parts – including the propeller – must be bought directly from Van’s and tracked in our records under that aircraft serial number. You can also place a stand-alone order for the prop without the rest of the Powerplant kit (just use the powerplant kit order form and select only the 3-blade prop option in that case). Now that the engineering has been completed and testing of the final install package is all wrapped up, the three-blade prop and spinner kit is available to order as an option on new powerplant kit orders (you’ll get to choose either a two-blade or three-blade prop when you order). We displayed this prop on a stand in our booth at Oshkosh last year and flew it to the show on one of our factory aircraft. Van’s has published updated RV-12/12iS powerplant kit order forms, a new plans section ( 47AiS/U) and a service letter ( SL 19-12-31), all of which are related to the now-available optional 3-blade Sensenich propeller kit.
