Agreed. But at Lyc rpms and up to the 180 kt neighborhood, there doesn't seem to be any top end penalty even at 74"; that's what Van is selling in Hartzells. My old (purchased) RV4 met Van's numbers

If the "Golden Age of Air Racing is still available from EAA it has multiple articles about Steve's early life as well as info on most of the airplanes.

I recommend the Sport Aviation article by Jim Cunningham? and the EAA video on Steves life. I am losing my hangar May 15 and most of my stuff is packed away so I can't offer any help. There is a lot

This is why “seaplane” props are always big diameter. Gives you more acceleration “out of the hole” (as the drag racers like to say). Might hurt the top end a little bit, but sure does pull

Thanks Ben,I eagerly await "Officer Bill Gannon's", report on most everything we post. Lucky to at least have some actual source, that has a lot of first-hand knowledge. Friends of Steve are fading

Did you ever tried lowering your tire pressure? Van recommends only 20 to 25lbs says it’s the added drag that’s needed, my RV6 never shimmy’s in grass and only on hard surfaces if I’m a little

I just didn't expect the Hartzell to do that good with 160hp. I had one ride in the highly modified W8 that Dennis later owned, parallel valve 0 360 and Hartzell C/S. I wasn't that impressed with
