Hi Mike,
A couple of suggestions for you.
1. see if you can get hold of a copy of the original approved propeller list,
the
LAA might help with this. If I remember correctly it had some individual a/c
registrations with engine and prop set-up. If one of them has the same set-up
that you propose and it's on a mono (either classic or XS) then you should be
good to go.
2. It seems that the LAA are worried that your ground clearance may not meet
CS-VLA
because of the hub/blade combination. One way around this may be to ask someone
who has the Airmaster 332 hub with Warp Drive 64 inch blades to measure
the actual diameter of the blades as installed. This comparison may satisfy the
LAA that CS-VLA is being met.
3. Look back through the old 'Europa Flyer' and probably better 'Tech Talk'
publications
on the Europa Club web site, there may be an article describing what
you want to do as further 'evidence' that it's been done before.
