Can someone recomend a Propellor builder/supplier that can supply me a prop for a 40 HP V twin with 1-2.25 belt reduction (engine RPM 3600 cruse 4200 max with 60mph cruse

It needs to be wood and period looking and large diamiter low pitch (for a Fokker E111 replica)

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I take it that the boys have been in touch about my covering (i asked for ORATEX with the kit instead of polyfibre)

i just recieved my quote from Culver about 10 mins ago and it was very reasonable so i will probably go with them.

Cheers

I have a Newton prop, and I am very pleased with it. It's the best prop I have flow with, very well balanced, and it improved my cruise by more than 5 kt.

At some stage I am sure that Alan will retire, he is over 80, so be quick
