BC12-D prop question

Re: BC12-D prop question

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here for quite some time(since I bought my 2nd T-craft). I have a 46 BC12D with an A75. It had a 71X44 prop when I bought it and it would static 2500 easily. I got another prop that is a 70X48 and it statics @ 2300 but still won't get out loaded like my 1st T-craft with the A65. I would love to hear what everyone is running on their T-crafts as I'm still not able to outrun my IA's C75 powered Champ.

I have a 1b90 - cm 7049 on an a65 works great

oh yeah, its not on the tcds, its installed by field approval

Re: BC12-D prop question

You should look at 74" or a 75" cessna McCauley 1A90 seaplane prop

Do you mean Sensenich? The longest 1A90 allowed by Cessna on the C85 or McCauley on the A75 or C85 is 71"...

Re: BC12-D prop question

General rule of thumb...the longer the prop, the better the climb. You should look at 74" or a 75" cessna McCauley 1A90 seaplane prop, you will need it to be pitched for correct static..... They are even approved for your Tcraft.

Re: BC12-D prop question

I am not sure if it is type certified for a 65 hp or 75 hp, but I just put an new senseninch 76-2-40 on my 85 hp, and it turned it into a rocket, both out of the water, and on cruise speed. Have to do some homework though on yours.

There are several threads with lots of comments and info on different props here. Do some searches.
