--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Giovanni Day" <gde01@bellsouth.net>
Hello All,
I am able to run 8.5 degrees pitch on the powerfin 70" 3 blade F model
prop on my 912/80 at 5350 RPM static. How does this compare to others
with this same setup? Thanks in advance.

Duane,
Looks like your going to be on the bad side of Ivan. Beauford seems to
be ready, but I think He will escape this one , but if not ,he is ready. I
know youre tired of all the ups and downs. They keep moving the projected path
to the West. Our percentages of a hit in Houston ,went up to 7% from 4% . If
I dont see that thing turn north by morning I am going to start securing my
Firefly trailer. Id hate to lose it before I even use it. Batten down the
hatches. We will say a prayer for yall.
Ed

I really need to get out and write down the prop size. Many people have
asked. It came off a Jabi on a Titan. I think it is qver propped as I am
only getting 2830 rpm on take off. Still climbs at 8-900 fpm. I am going to
cut the tips to make them quieter as mentioned in past emails. This may
speed up the engine. The Jabi is mounted on a modified Mk 111. It has the
standard du cts. I like the performance so far and am happy with the whole
set up and now even the backward throttle arrangement. Gotta get out and
take some photos.

Herb,
I have one of the early ones and my elevator moves plus or minus 20 degrees.

You won't need all that much because she will respond before you get a chance to
use it.

Thanks for your concern Bill V.
It appears that Tallahassee will only get the edge of the storm. I have done all
I can to secure things here and am heading for San Francisco/Sacramento tomorrow
AM. If I don't get shaken up by one of their earthquakes I will probably
be back in time for Jeanie (sigh).

Thanks Bill. I'm afraid Bill Woods' old SS is not in the safest place it
could be right now. It, and my RV-3 are in their hanger at 2R4, near
Pensacola. At the moment, it looks like we'll top out around 100 mph winds,
but it's hard to say for sure. The hangers are pretty strong, so hopefully
they will hold. Our house is 4 miles from the Gulf in Navarre, but it'll be
fine, and we'll ride it out there.
Cheers,
Rusty (about 30 hours to Ivan)
