Today when returning from a flyin my windshield appeared to have been hit by a swarm of gnats. When I got home I realized it was oil that had misted onto the...
It sounds like oil is somehow getting past the O-rings. I'd call WW on monday and see what they say. 55 Hours isn't much time. It's my guess that this type...
Darwin, i'd call Greg at Whirlwind and explane the problem to him. I have about 79 hrs on my 200RV and have had no problems with it since I added a shim to...
I contacted Greg today and discussed the situation. He believes a seal probably failed. A while back I asked for input in the surge I was getting when ...
... Darwin, I experienced a surge on my first three to four flights. I thought that perhaps I was advancing the throttle too fast so I slowed the throttle...
I am going to contact WW tomorrow about a repeated surge on take off. It continues for about 30 seconds, but smooths out after initial climb out. Any ideas? ...
Robby, Many of us have seen this. Recently at the suggestion of someone, I have begun doing 2 deep cycles of the prop at run-up, instead of 1 or 2 'begins to...
No activity lately but thought I should add to the data base. I now have 13 hours on my 200RV. The backing plate is showing no signs of cracking. I had a...
Dave, Did you buy your prop after the sale to Titian or before? Mine had the same problem which was solved with a .004 shim and is now tight as new after 86...
I bought my prop from the previous owner. Greg answered all of my questions. I did have a question about the shims after I received them. Greg was at Sun & Fun...
I'm considering selling my WW200RV. It has about 250 hrs on it, has never cracked a bracket, and is fresh from a factory overhaul and still in the shipping...
Why did it need a factory overhaul after only 250 hours ? What is the different direction you are going ? How much for the 200RV ? Dave Rogers RV-4, N97RT ...
Dave, the 'early' 200RV units came with a recommended 'factory visit' after 250 hours, I suppose this was to allow WW to see lots of props early and make sure...
Don, Thank you for the reply. Right now I'm still up in the air on which prop to use.. The Blended airfoil Hartzell is currently running as my first choice,...
WS, you will be happy with the 200RV prop. it's about 20 or so pounds lighter, performs great, and you don't have to move so much into the tail cone of the...
Kind of quiet here on the whirlwind group, so here you go! I had an episode trying to get to Sun N Fun. My prop started slinging grease, so we set down...
Marshall, Since you broke the ice, thought I would comment on the subject. I had written a post some time ago about the grease slinging thing with my 151....
Nice to hear Andy. My issue was a little worse, but they took care of it. Since this all started, I have asked a lot of questions, and it seems many CS props...
Yes the 200RV has been raised to 500 hrs. I've got 95 hrs on mine and it is doing great! Dan ... inspection get raised from 250hrs to 500hrs? Can anyone...
A while back I posted that I had a problem with the front seals on my 200RV prop. Additionally, I had been having surging problems from day one. After the seal...
I now have 200h on my 200RV (225hTTAF - I swapped out the 151 for the 200RV at 25h) and would like to report that I have been very happy with the propeller....
Had a problem with the spinner bulkhead bolts breaking the safety wire and backing out. After re-torquing them and re-safetying them, it happened again and the...
Yup...not the big castellated propeller bolts, but the the bolts that hold the spinner bulkhead to the hub. I know of several other instances where this had...
I saw an awesome WhirlWind three blade prop the other day. It was a WW three blade prop with huge blades. It was black and had silver or grey stripes. It was...
That was almost certainly the Whilwind 400C. Check it out at www.whirlwindaviation.com William Slaughter RV-8 planning to buy a 200RV ... had silver or grey...
