I just put a rotax 503 single carb into a minimax and I have an ultraprop II 3 blade 59in fan on it. According to ultraprop, this with a 10 degree pitch block should be about right. But Im only getting 4200 rpm out of the engine. WAYYYY too much prop for this engine. I have a 2.25:1 belt drive on it. Im guessing if I take 3in off each blade to trim it down from 59 to 53in diameter, it should get me closer. Or I could just buy a two blade hub and go that route instead. Any suggestions? I don't mind trimming down the 3 blade unless its gonna be bad performance vs a longer 2 blade. More ground clearance after trimming the 3 blade would be nice but not really necessary. |
