Subject: | Arplast PV50 parts |
Hello Guys,
Firstly, thanks for all the great information that so many well informed people
have provided on this forum!
I have an Arplast PV50 propeller which is playing up. The pitch change function
is intermittent and I have traced it to a problem with the little screw jack
mechanism. I was wondering if anyone who may have changed to a different prop
from the Arplast would still have the parts? I would dearly like to get in contact
with you to talk about buying the parts from you. I am in France (for shipping
info).
Regards,
Glenn Perry

Thank you Bud for all this detailed information. I am convinced that the Whirlwind
blade is better than the WarpDrive by a few knots at cruise, even for a 912S
Europa. I also believe the WW could be significantly improved with more twist.
That would make the center portion of the propeller disk to produce some
more thrust at cruise and therefore some more knots. Additionally, this would
also improve cooling at ground idle.
It seems to me that most of these propeller blades have been designed mainly for
the american LSA market were there is no motivation for increased cruise performances
as the maximum speed is limited by regulation anyway.
For non LSA, faster is always better, so may be we should persuade Whirlwind to
design a high twist blade ?
Remi
