The previously reccomended pitch of 23.5 degrees at 7.875" from the tip seems like it is way too much. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:35:14 PM PST US From: hgmckay@bellsouth.net Subject: Re: Allegro-List: Allegro 80 HP Woodcomp Pitch setting Tim: I agree, the 23.5 degrees is too much. I went through a series of emails on the rotaxengines-list@matronics.com back in October 2006 on this same subject. Go to that forum and look at the archived emails on the subject. I finally settled at 15 degrees which gave me 5100 rpm (static). If you ask Fantasy Air USA (Matt Smith) he will tell you they set all their props at 14 degrees. You will get various opinions on this subject, but 23.5 degres is certainly too much, and I believe every one will agree on that. At least I hope so!!
