Aeronca Prop
Information and discussion about seaplanes, float planes, and water operations.
Got this note from one of our local Aeronca Sedan guys. Anybody have any ideas?

Brad, I am looking for an 80" Mcauley prop for the sedan we are going to put on floats next month.
I thought if anybody would know where this prop might be it would be you. 42,or 44 pitch is what i am looking for. If you know of any let me know or steer them my way please.
Thanks
Chet.

Chet that isn't much info to work with.What engine? If it is a C145/0-300 I did not see an 80" prop listed on the TCDS.It may be STC'd but 76'' is the max dia listed for the standard airplane even the S model.

The prop(s) are STC'd by Burl Rogers.STC #SA02253AK 1A170/SFC and1A175/DM both in 80''/40or42 pitch.
I think that is the old 0-300 172 seaplane prop.

Yep, same prop is on the 170 TCDS as the seaplane prop. They can be purchased new if I recall. I'd love to have one for my landplane!

This probably wont help but I've got a 2B235DFC7846 McCauley 6 hole.

I think N419A had one of those props for sale last fall, might be worth PMing him.
