Yep. I will be flying exclusively off the pavement. I have a 68” club on there right now. What takeoff and cruise rpm did you calculate for the engine?
My mechanic totaled my Stinson today! NOT a good cay. Yikes.

The ratio is 3.12.  And the prop will be limited to 68" due to clearance.  You can go more, but I had the grass chew up the tips in the one I built that length. :-7

Welcome to the Rotary World George..........What is the re-drive ratio of Ernest's conversion......... I knew 
at one time but it has slipped away..........That ratio and what rpm you are willing to use will have a lot to 
do with the prop selection.......

Ernest made it impossible for me to pass up his nearly completed Dyke Delta. So basically I am just starting in the rotary world. For now I am figuring out Megasquirt and   Asking the group to opine on a prop. Looking forward to responses. The Dyke made a 4500 mile road trip to get to my hanger.
