Bolly Optima Series Three
The Bolly Optima Series 3 props are (ground) adjustable allowing the pitch to be altered, using a 38mm shank ( 1.5″ ). Performance is
supreme, with silky smoothness at high efficiency levels.
Pitch:
Unlike our other BOS propellers, the Series 3 are ground adjustable to the required pitch and engine load. We have optimised the design to allow for this. As with all props they are at their most efficient at one optimal pitch setting, and it is this setting that we quote. The less a prop is changed from this the better the performance, although we have customers reporting excellent performance out to 7 degrees outside this parameter.
Hubs:
Hubs to suit the 75mm PCD bolt pattern, ie many Rotax, Hirth etc are available in 2B, 3B and 4B.
We also have 2B and 3B hubs for most other common bolt patterns such as Rotax C box (100mm PCD), some Subaru’s (4 inch / 101.6mm PCD) and to suit Rotax 912 / 914 (old and new with rear face drive stud holes).
Notes:
Overall propeller diameter may vary from hub to hub. For example a 72″ blade may vary from 70″ (Bolly 912 hub), 71.5″ (2B or 3B in 75mm PCD hub) or 72″ (in Bolly 4B hub or some hubs by other manufacturers).

Proven Setups/News
News : Latest overspeed testing has gone to mach 1.01 tip speed (for proving the DuraTuff leading edge).
The Bolly BOS3 68 x 58 (left and right hand versions) in our standard hub (66″ 3B prop) have been certified for use in the Airborne XT series of Trikes, with Rotax 912 or 582. This entailed, amongst other things, over speed testing at mach .97 tip speed using every bit of power from a 200hp engine – an awesome experience that has given us enormous confidence in our product. And then there was the 10 ton pull test + more.
