YS Engines

[David Harmon]

Dean...I just had a nice conversation with Terry Prather and he said the
next run of pitch gauges will be next month. 
I also mentioned the current need for a larger size gauge for today's
props and he said that he had been thinking about it and would develop a
new model this summer capable of handling props up to 24".

Personally, I have had no problem using the original gauge to repitch
APC props up to 16".
I use it quite a bit to determine if the prop in question is what the
mfg says it really is.
Usually, the blades are not equal in pitch and neither blade is the
pitch as marked.

Prather make them up in batches fairly rarely, they are too small for
15, 16, and 17 inch props let alone the IMAC stuff, and it is otherwise
a fine high-quality product. I've had mine since the great quiet
struggle of '82/'83.

Hey Dean....does Prather still make that pitch gauge?
I have one and it works well.

Hi Anthony,
The economics are not there, we have spoken to Fred at APC about this
already. The propellor pitch gauge construction article will appear in
FM. Now, all I have to do is write it ...
