I've been very happy with my sheepskins from Aerosheep.
Comfortable in hot or cold weather.

Even with the blue knob all the way out the prop goes to full flat at idle throttle setting as I don't have the feathering or reversing option installed like you might find on a turbo-prop.
That is an available option on these propellers though.

It goes full flat the instant you pull power to idle. Both the 2 & 3 blade - maybe a little more braking effect with the 3 than the 2 blade but both are quite dramatic as a speed brake.

The airplane had a 2 blade MT when I purchased it last July and flew it down from Anchorage to Washington state. Soon after getting back home, after an epic 3 day journey through Alaska and d...

Just waiting on Chris from DelAir to ship my conversion kit....any day now!

Hello Mike! That is the shop doing my conversion and where you would be picking up the engine. They have an excellent painter there and would make quick work of removing the wings for the paint booth. They have proper stands and cradles available to do it right. Still planning on removing it when I ...

This shop does good work...

Looks like the obsolete ground adjustable prop lever I have on my O300B.

Also don't let the lower door hinge pin get stuck in your shoe laces....

Thanks fellas.
She's taken on a whole new personality lately!
Propeller is a McCauley 76/49.
Pretty good short field and climb when light but still planning on a 180 hp conversion.....someday.
