'Sensenich’s new composite, ground-adjustable prop ... just received STC approval for Cessna 172s with the Lycoming O-360 engine. According to the company, the prop at a “median pitch setting yielded improved take-off and climb performance with better cruise speeds and fuel flows.”

It's great to see performance improvements for the 172, but for $8750 (presumably, plus tax, shipping & installation), I'll wait until my current prop needs replacing. Incidentally, my approach to the exhaust system is the same - when the current one needs replacing I'll install a Powerflow.

A Power Flow may not be available for your engine. I could not use it in my Archer’s O-360.

Nice to read they're planning something for us O300 drivers too. I like more options.
