An alternative propeller? Oct 13, 2016 8:16:11 GMT

Hi all,
I have a Fiti Eco VP prop with Flybox CS controller fitted to my Rotax engined Bristell. However I would be interested to hear from anyone with an alternative setup because the Fiti in my opinion tends to run out of coarse pitch in the cruise due to the relatively small fine to coarse pitch banding of this prop.
I used to have the Woodcomp SR3000/3 on my Sportcruiser which worked well but the blade size may perhaps be too big for the Bristell.
I believe in NZ and Oz they are now finding success with the DUC prop on the Bristell?...

Thoughts anyone?

Hi,

Alan, I have a Bristell RG (EC-XPE) with a Rotax 912is, mounting a VP two blade Woodcomp SR3000. I've had some problems with the plane and the engine (long story)but so far none with the prop. Maximum RPMs allowed are 5600, but more than enough. Some people say that it might be a tad too heavy for Rotax engines. I am having now problems with a constantly fracturing exhaust and muffler, but there is no excessive vibration from the prop. Sadly, I am not receiving good customer service from BRM aero despite previous problems due to their deficient quality control. Which prop did you choose and how is it working for you.

An alternative propeller?
