The Sensenich metal propellers we sell were developed spe-
cifically for the RV series and are the ONLY fixed-pitch metal
propellers approved by Van’s Aircraft Inc. for use on RV air-
craft.
Use the chart below to choose the proper propeller. Start by
determining the length of crankshaft extension required by
your cowl. Kits shipped since late 1993 require a 2 1/4” ex-
tension. Prior to 1993, cowls for fixed pitch props (shown on
the packing list as Fixed Pitch or FP) required a 4” extension.
Next, choose the diameter of the prop bolts required by your
engine. (New 160 hp engines from Van’s use 7/16” bolts, new
180 hp engines use 1/2” bolts.) Prop pitches (in parentheses)
are based on cruise speeds for RVs with gear leg fairings,
landing gear intersection fairings and Van’s “Pressure Recov-
ery” wheel fairings. Cruise speeds for RVs with older wheel
fairings (narrow cross-section with brake blisters) will be 4-5
mph slower and require a prop with approximately 2” less
pitch. A rule of thumb: 1” of pitch change equals about 25
rpm static and about 30-40 rpm at full throttle cruise.
Prices subject to change without notice. Customer instigated
delays may result in price increases.

Decoding the part numbers: PROP 70CM7S9-0 (81) means: 70 = design diameter in inches. CM = designator for O-320. 7= bolt
diameter in 16ths of an inch. S: requires crankshaft spacer. 9 = length of spacer in 1/4s of an inch. 0 = full blade length, not cut
down from longer blade. (81) = pitch in inches. Looking at the chart, this prop is suitable for an RV-4 using a 2 ¼” spacer and re-
quiring 7/16” diameter crankshaft bolts.
