| Subject: | List of Contributors |
Each year at the end of the List Fund Raiser, I post a message acknowledging everyone
that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its sort of
my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation
for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors
(LOC)? As a number of members have pointed out over the years, the List seems
at least - if not a whole lot more - valuable as a building/flying/recreating/entertainment
tool as your typical magazine subscription!
Please take minute and assure that your name is on this year's LOC! Show others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is
fast and easy using your Credit card or Paypal on the Secure Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by popping a personal check in the mail to:
Matt Dralle / Matronics
PO Box 347
Livermore CA 94551-0347
I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps
these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about
how the Lists have helped you!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

| Subject: | Re: Setting the GSC prop |
> I believe the prop should be set for 6400 WOT, 6200 rpm static. Sounds like your
prop is set a tad too fine I don't think I'd change it as you might like to
have the extra revs for the occasional times you are at gross.
Depends on the prop Noel.
Kitfoxes switched from a 66 to 68 3 blade GSC and i have found that setting the
68" at 6200 ish static will give you about 6800 WOT with a 3 to 1 box.
To get 6400 WOT your static would likely be less than 5800 and you would suffer
take off performance.
Now my WARP 68" 3 blade is a Wide tip with a bit more bite and I am 6000 static
and 6700 WOT with it .
And your EGTs wll be affected with each prop adjustment as well at outside Climate
and temps.
It all a game of tweaking, optimizing and compromising your prop but once set it
makes the Kitfox not just a great STOL performer but a joy to fly.
