Hi guys,

         I was just putting my paperwork together for the DAR, when I 

discovered that I have a 70" 3 blade Warp prop. Skystar recommended a 68" 

prop for the 582. (I've got a 582 with a 3:1 C box and APC clutch.) I've 

got an email into Warp to see if I can cut an inch off, but I'm wondering 

if the 70" is better from a performance standpoint. I've checked the tip 

speed and it's quite slow. (591 fps, .53 mach at 85 knots and 5800 rpm.)

         My other problem is I require documentation proving the combo is 

acceptable. How about it John? Do you have any documentation for 

K-IV/582/70" Warp 3-blade combinations?



Thanks,

Guy Buchanan

Guy,

    I had the 70" Warp with my 582 which was recommended by Warp.  A couple years ago I had a small prop strike and sent the prop back to Warp where they cut off 1" to make it a 68".  I did not see any noticeable performance difference between the 70" and 68"
