McCauley Props & rpm limitations

Post by sebecker »

I have a 180 hp Lycoming conversion with a McCauley prop, are there any limitations on the RPM I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Maybe. What does the approval for the installation of the prop say? What McCauley prop are we talking about?

Even more appropriate, under what STC was the engine/prop conversion accomplished, and what does the operating limitations of that STC stipulate? (There is where you will find your answer.)
