Re: [Titanaircraft] Which Prop for a Titan II S with a Jabiru 2200?

The nice thing about being able to change the pitch on the prop, is that when the engine gets a little older, and a little more tired, you can back off the pitch a little to keep it running in the RPM range it's supposed to be in. When Leo switched to a Prince P-tip, he ended up sending the prop back three times before they got it right. In the mean time, the CEO had heart problems, leaving Leo without a plane for several weeks. One time, it was nearly two months. As far as noise goes, yeah, Sensenich's are about the noisiest things I've heard. In the cockpit they measures about 1-2dB louder than Warp or Prince on the 2200. I measured the Warp and Prince on a back-to-back test in Leo's plane, and the noise level is identical. However, they have slightly different tones between them. Even so, from our observations on the ground, the prince seems that it can be heard from a longer distance away than the Warp.

Tom. After using a Sensenich on my Jab 2200 that was under-pitched and Godawful noisy, I switched to a Prince P-Tip and couldn't be happier with it. Slightly quieter and a lot more thrust. The Warp Drive is also a good choice for the many reasons Kimberly and Mark point out but I don't know what kind of price tag they have. My P-tip cost just under $800 with having them custom paint if for me. I've been caught in some pretty heavy rain a couple of times and there is zero damage one usually finds with a wood prop even though mine is made out of wood without the composite coating Prince offers.

Hiya Gents (and Miss Kimberly),

I should be getting my Titan II S kit delivered next week and just ordered my Jabiru 2200 today and will pick it up when I attend their class Nov 15. My question to all those flying the Jabiru 2200: Which prop is best, Senench wood or which? Oh, and why?

Thank ya all for your times,
Two-To-Tango Tom...
