This is just a shout out for Lonnie Prince. This guy knows his product, knows what customer service is, and stands by his product. It is a pleasure to do business with this gentleman. Not to mention that the carbon fiber p-tip is a work of art.

Just returned from OSH. The last 100 miles was scud running in the rain. I feared I trashed the P-tip prop. After landing, I found no only was the prop in perfect shape, it was very clean after almost 1600 miles. Got a lot of questions from other builders about the P-tip at AirVenture. Very pleased with it.

Hi, what size/pitch prop are you running? I have been running a 54 x 60 Prince P-tip for the past 25 hours on my Sonex with Jab 3300, but find it a bit fine - cruise now 2950 RPM and full throttle goes well over 3300 RPM. Lonnie offered to exchange it for a 54 x 62 but I was thinking of going to a 56 x 64. I'd like to hear what works for others.

I just posted a video on my YouTube channel showing at good example of the Sensenich VS Prince P-tip props.
Jim Hicke has a Jab3300 Waiex with Sensenich, I have a Jab3300 Waiex with P-tip. Both were near gross, actually I was probably a bit heavier.
Enjoy.

I'm sure everyone has seen this by now, but the numbers are impressive nonetheless. From the ASA website builders page.

Completely unfair. Not only do I have to be jealous of the turbo AeroVee being able to pass me at 8,000 feet but now I have to watch my back for Prince props on takeoff!
