Another real drawback I learned of is the decrease of TBO from 2400 to
2000. But thanks. Scott Skylane wrote: Paul Folbrecht wrote: I want (need) a new prop for my C152. Sensenich has a 12-week lead time. Are there other sources? 2nd question: Anybody have any comments the Sparrow Hawk conversion? Paul, 1. http://www.propellerman.com/ although, they may be a bit "pre-occupied" today... 2. We converted our fleet of 152's years ago, and have been pleased with the results. Lower spark plugs stay cleaner, the revised baffling is more serviceable, and of course the performance improvement is welcome, if not dramatic. Only real drawback is that the piston rings tend to get "soft" at about 1500 hours, probably due to increased heat of cumbustion. A quick hone and new ring set cures that, and its off for another 1500 hours. Happy Flying! Scott Skylane N92054 |
