    I enjoyed the flight as well.

    Very happy to share knowledge and experience with our 601XL's. Looking forward to more flying!

    Peter,

    I emailed Sensenich about props and received the following response. Since your plane has gone through flight testing with the prop you have, I wouldnt worry too much about it. However; it is probably worth calling Jabiru for their up-to-date opinion of props for the 3300.

    FORWARDED MESSAGE:

    Hello Michael,

     

    Jabiru USA performed the prop testing for our wood props on the Jabiru engines and would be the best source for this type of info. It is my understanding that the W64ZK-51 is the cruise prop for your application and the W64ZK-49 would be the standard prop. The W68ZK56-58 prop model would not be suitable for the Jabiru engine and is more commonly used on Continental and Lycoming engines.

     

    Regards,

    Sounds good.

    I plan on arriving at OZW by 10am to help remove plastic tarps from airplanes (we just had the hangar roofs re-painted). Then I should be there at least until dark.

    See you then!
