I own a 28 year old 6A with a O320 with a 28 year old Bernie Warnke almost constant speed wood prop. Prop is 72 x 72, urethane edge, and is in like new condition. Prop is great at cruise, 7 gallon an hour at 2350 rpm / 150 TAS. Static 2400 rpm, WOT 2480 rpm. On a budget, aka I’m a tight wad. Would like to improve takeoff ( takes a long time/ distance to get to rotate speed) maybe better climb as well.
Question, could someone in the wood prop business, cut this prop down to ??? in to increase rpm and enhance TO roll / climb with minimal impact my cruise?
