RyanO Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Anyone have a spare prop? Need ASAP. Long EZ O-320-E2D 150 HP I’m currently at KPRC picking up my new to me Long EZ. We had a tip over and damaged the old prop. Replaced it with a borrowed prop from another Long EZ but it was for a higher HP engine and won’t work on my 150 HP as a test flight just showed. Will drive anywhere within 8 hours or more to get it asap. Posting on multiple online locations so sorry if it looks like spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Ashton Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sorry that I can't help. I had a tip-back once. It broke about 1.5" off one blade of a three-blade. I cut the other two blades off as evenly as I could and it got me home. That might be an option. I am a little surprised that a prop for a higher HP engine would not work well enough to get you home. Yeah, it would not be optimum but if it will get you airborne it might work. I have tip-backed twice and almost a few other times. It is something you have to be aware of. I am pretty careful now. Good luck. 1 Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
