Well, are you interested in selling? I'm about to hit the 'send' button to Sensenich, but...?
Cheers, Sam.

Anyone put a Sensenich ground adjustable prop on their Jabiru 2200?
Would be great to hear direct, real-world feedback.
Thanks, Sam.

Thanks, I'll look it up. I've been surprised - I guess my (fixed pitch) prop is for cruising...

I'm struggling to get out under 700ft (at gross), just off the ground, no obstacles!

Anything I built would either double the weight of the aircraft or fall off!

So, can he source all the bits and send them to me? :-) Cost of bits plus his time?
As you can see, I mostly fly, rather than wield a spanner!

Thanks! Is the kit for sale 'complete' or is it a case of finding the components separately?
How are the landings, can you drop her in 'harder' and more slowly now?

Hi Barry,
Their contact form doesn't work! Got any info here about your gear?
Thanks, Sam.

thanks for the answers, great!
Does anyone have a photo of an 800 wheel/tyre combo next to an 8.50? I get the impression the difference is much more in reality than it seems in numbers...?

That'll do it! Never even crossed my mind - expensive error!

hm, hadn't thought of that axis of movement. More important than the wing tips moving up and down whilst folded?

Hi Jim,
Thanks. Interesting you don't have any shock absorption there - but as it's at the hitch end the tractor will soften out the vertical movement.
I think it is better to support the wings (also takes the strain off the wing attachments) but this is much more complicated to fabricate.
Thanks for that though, very, very useful.
Cheers, Sam.

Ouch - but, it does look a bit corroded??!!
Anyone got a picture of 'jig' that they use? Unsure as to whether I should be supporting the tailend of the fuselage (but with some shock absorption clearly) or the wings (given that the weight problem is caused by the folded wings).
Thanks! Sam.
