EXCALIBUR-2
New propeller for the Pulsar 582.
Here are some key figures:
Old propeller: GSC wood 145cm
New E-Props Carbon 165cm
Take-off run (1 person / 40L fuel / grass runway) 260 m, now 140 m ?
700fpm climp (max for gsc): 65kts now 85kts
With the new propeller, 500fpm @100kts is possible
With the new propeller, maximum climb is now around 1000fpm
Cruising: 105kts, now 122kts
All in all, a very good solution for the 582.
Ease of use (and also safety) has increased significantly.
Even high-altitude flying is improved, at FL115 you now have good climb performance enabling safer mountain flying.
