Performance
A rough performance comparison on a 200 hp aerobatic machine:
1. First prop was a wooden Sensenich. Static RPM only about 2250. Max speed S&L about 138 kts. Made lots of noise in a dive. Seemed as if it twisted and became finer pitch at higher airspeeds.
2. Second was a Hoffman. Static RPM about 2350. Max speed S&L about 147 kts. Nice all round.
3. Third was a metal Sensenich. Even more static RPM. Max speed S&L 155 kts at about 3050 RPM. Best performance all round.
