I have a AutoGyro MTO Free (no body/windshield) with Rotax 914. Looking to upgrade from stock HTC prop. Goal is greater fuel efficiency rather than performance. I like to take long distance trips and have accurate GHP digital fuel meter. Typicall cruise at 55 knots (uncomfortable to go much faster due to open cockpit) and burn about 3.0 to 3.2 GPH at that speed. Does anyone have any opinions on whether the Sensensich, Duc Windspoon, or Lugo would be the best prop at those speeds on a draggy aircraft?
Also the current HTC prop is 68" in diameter. Based on the bigger prop is better theory, I was thinking about going to 72" but would only have 1" of clearance with the keel. Again, advice and comments greatly appreciated.
