  • O-200

    I am planning on rebuilding my O-200 for my t-craft an F19.
    I would like any tips,help or advice for this rebuild.
    I plan on new ECI Titan cylinders, a light wt starter and generater
    any suggestions on brands?
    Air wolf oil filter and oil/air seperater?
    Also looking for ideas on a new prop. I am looking for as much speed as I can get. Climb is not a concern as I live and fly in the
    flat lands of the midwest.

      Mike- I tried many different props on my 0-200 powered Clipwing and although it has a little different drag characteristics I think you may run in to the same thing. I found that at or around 49" of pitch the airplane did not go any faster and the climb performance went to crap. I think that somewhere around 110 mph the drag really starts to be exponential- and the higher pitch does nothing but load the engine. My best all around prop for what it sounds like you are looking for was a 72 47 McCauley. You will get about 105-110 in cruise and a respectable climb.

      Flying is easy- to go up you pull back, to go down you pull back a little farther.
