Prop extension
in General Tech Discussion
6 years ago
Hi all,
OK, I have high mounted pusher configuration, with ULS engine and no cowling. I am learning that it is beneficial to move propeller away from engine and wing as far as possible.
So, I can use the extension that I have (3") with my new 3-blade, 70" Powerfin prop. This will make my future cowling a little longer and will improve airflow, and will move prop away from trailing edge.
But I also heard that our gearboxes really don't like those kind of extensions. Will I be okay by doing this?
Thank you!
