A number of you have heard us that made it to Paducha about the difference in Sam Hodges Prop on his RV-7A and my prop.  Both are suppose to be 74 x88.  Well, here you can compare for yourself - for some reason, Sam just laughed when I referred to my "Monster" prop.  Even though Sam and I had corresponded several times about his lower than desired engine RPM and I had asked several times about the size of his prop - which he always responded .."...same as yours, 74 x 88"   which indicate the prop was not the problem.  That is until you saw the chord of his prop blades they measured over 8" whereas mine measure around 5" - big difference.
