How do I select a propeller for my direct-drive AeroVee powered Aircraft (other than Sonex Aircraft)?
There are a handful of people in the world that understand the proper design and selection of propellers for different engine and airframe combinations. We have put our trust in Sensenich Wood Propeller Co. and their design engineers, who are among the leading experts in their field, and we recommend that all AeroVee customers consult with and purchase from Sensenich directly for their prop needs. Sensenich has generated a large database of recommended propellers for homebuilt aircraft, playing to the strength of the AeroVee, other direct-drive VW engine conversions, and direct-drive J0abiru 2200 engines. For initial prop selection on AeroVee powered Sonex Aircraft, we simply made Left-turning versions of the Jabiru 2200 propellers we were already using. It’s a great way to get close on the very first prop.
