This is my trike pre test period. The Aerolux 72 did not work out due to the position of my engine mounting. It turned out with the wing on,  the 72 inch reach was scary close to the back of my keel. I also had as much as 18 degrees of pitch to get my 6500 R max rev. That put a lot of blade into the air and the math was not working out. I called Warp Drive who advised with my 3.1 to 1 gear box drive, I needed a five blade 66. Now I clear the keel and all is well.

    You had a same problem as me. Too big prop and too low trike... but the Aerolux is one of the best props on the world!!! with a metal leading edge protection. How much money you want for it? :)

    It is a great prop. I sort of wished it would have worked. I traded it to a guy who put it on a fixed wing and then bought me the Warp Drive. The WD looks like something out of Road Warrior movie. My prop spin is right or clockwise push.

    I sure would like to fly at some of your meets.
