Dear Whirl Wind,<\/p>\n

Today I finally had the opportunity to install my new WhirlWind GA200L 72″ propeller on my Storm 400 with Lyc.O-320 E2A 150 Hp. engine.  I removed my Sensenich Wood 68″\/ 84″pitch propeller after 20 hours of test flights with it.   I calculated the inches of pitch of the wood Sensenich 84″ geometric-pitch to be approximately 20.5\u00b0 at 2\/3 of the blade from the root.  And I set my GA200L propeller at the similar angle which gave me exactly the RPM I wanted. The performance with the \u0122A200L propeller is simply amazing!  Takeoff distance (in similar conditions) is estimated 35-40% less distance.  Top IAS at 2500 RPM it’s over 160 Kias ! <\/p>\n

I look forward to flying with this propeller for a long while.<\/p>\n

    Regards,<\/p>\n

My WhirlWind 200GA-68 prop sure is pretty and is noticeable faster than my old FP propeller I removed.<\/p>\n

Hi WhirlWind!!<\/p>\n

I did a test flight today at 2700 rpm the indicated speed was well over 190 kts with true airspeed of 200 knots at 3000 ft. The airplane was still gradually accelerating but I stopped the test at 2700 rpm. Needless to say, the performance is incredible and I really like the quality fit and finish and durability too. Unlike my old FP prop I was stuck with less than optimum pitch, no need to send prop back to M.F.G. to be repitched (and wait and wait).<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n

Whirlwind,<\/p>\n

Your GA200-68 made my already great performing Tailwind perform even better in all phases of flight.
\nTake off distance was reduce by  15%, Rate of Climb increased 300fpm, and top speed increased 9 mph to 195mph on lyc-0290
\nPlus prop is super smooth and with the nickel leading edge. When encountering rain, there is no need to reduce rpm unlike my old prop.<\/p>\n

P.S: I sent you a video showing the great take off performance!<\/p>\n
