Subject: | Re: 4 blade prop - Rick Girard |
Rick/List,
I also did some prop pitch tweaking this past week. I set my 66" Powerfin 2-blade
at the most pitch to date that I have ever tried. Those who are familiar with
a Powerfin will know it is changed with a feeler gauge between the hub and
a pin you insert in a hole, and I've now got it set at .065". Have no idea what
pitch or degree that is, just know it's more pitch.
It cost me a little climb, about 150 fpm, but I picked up a good 5-7 mph airspeed.
It will be a good winter setting. I used to easily hit redline in WOT straight/level,
now I have to keep it firewalled for a while & it will get to about
6150 rpm (redline is 6200). It is nice though to look down and see the ASI past
60 most of the time rather than the low 50's.
We are having a fly-in today at our airport, Bailes Field (6R5). I'll take a few
photos & if any are worthy I'll post them tomorrow. Should be a beautiful day
for flying, 5 mph winds and a high in the low 70's.

Now, the airport owner or manager sends a list to the town clerk, and the
town clerk sends out registration forms to the owners. The registration
fee depends on gross weight. Ultralights seem to be exempt.
