Sensenich has begun shipping pre-order purchases of its new carbon composite ground-adjustable-pitch propeller following the propeller’s receipt of a supplemental type certificate (STC) earlier this month. 

The propeller is designed to fit on Piper Super Cubs equipped with Lycoming O-320 engines and delivers improved responsiveness. It features stainless steel blade leading-edge protection and lower weight in addition to the pitch-adjustment capability. During flight testing for the certification process in Alaska and Texas, the carbon propeller helped the Super Cub achieve maximum performance in various harsh operating conditions.
