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!

I have no idea about any of those three questions! 

Any advice?

Looking to shorten my take-off roll (without changing engine!).

Thanks, Sam.

Got any photos? 

Nobody?!

ditto!

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

"The Nanco N800 Slick is the perfect choice for personal water craft beach launching."

Excellent!

Yup, but his contact form is inop!

I'll give him a call tomorrow.

Thanks, Sam.

What size wheels do you have on there?  Normal gear?

As per the title!

Cheers, Sam.

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.

Going to do some testing early next year, but was already interested to get some 'best' numbers from others out there?

1. TO roll
2. TO roll to 50'
3. Landing roll to stopped

Perhaps include weight and engine info, plus altitude/temp if applicable.

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...?

Anyone able to help me find a source for this?  Got some big plans for next summer, so looking to prep over the winter!

Any updates/photos on this?!

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.
