Recommended Prop for Rotax 503 B Box

Postby Tjoek » Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:06 pm

I have a PProp on my trike with Rotax 503 B Box. IMO My rpm is a bit high .. 6000rpm in neutral cruise with 1 up. What should the typical cruise rpm be on my setup, and what prop pitch is recommended?

What are your max static on the ground RPMs....thats the important figure,

Should be around 6500rpm WOT climb out....can you trust your tach....many are 100s of RPMs out,

To get that fig on my 503 powered trike I set my prop for 6250rpm static on the ground with a hand held laser tach to check it with.
