My prop's too short! No crude remarks, now... :)
The Type Certificate Data Sheet calls for a prop between 73 and 71 inches for my Ercoupe's Continental 75 motor. The Continental 85 will take one from 73 to 69.5 inches. Don't ask me why.
My current prop is 69 5/8 inches. It is marked as 71 inches (see attachment). It was in the prop shop 2007 or 8; I can't find the Yellow Tag for it. Maybe IA has it with my engine logs.
I would need a McCauley 1A90CF or 1B90CM. The Measured Diameter (length) must be between 71 and 73 inches inclusive.
Whatcha got? Yes, I'd pay shipping. Hell, I'd even fly (ferry permit) to your place, do all the work (A&P in my pocket) and throw in dinner!
