Hey Jim: I still have the same problems as last month, so I expect it is my
computer. If I click on either one of your address's, I end up with only 11
newsletters. If I type in your address, either one, I get all 12 newsletters
. I
wish I knew enough about computers to solve the problem, but I do not.

Hi Lynn:
You are experiencing an annoying problem that everyone has once in a while.
What is happening is that your browser, (Internet Explorer I presume) has
cashed the pages of the web site locally on your hard drive. It does this
to help speed things up with you are browsing. SO, if you visit a site
once, the page is stored locally along with the address and when you visit
the same site again, it does not have to reload the page since you have it
stored on your local drive. Now, if I update a page since you last visited
the site, and you go back, the old page it still loaded.
Win IE does this as a default.. If you go to "Tools", then "Internet
Options". The defaule tab is "General", and look for the "Settings" button
in the "Temporary Internet FIles" area. Click this and select "Every time
you start Internet Explorer" under "Check for newer versions of stored
pages".
There is another option that allows you to do the same thing every time you
visit a page, but I don't use this as it slows things down a bit.
Hope this helps. If not, I'll send you my number and walk you through it.
Happy Holidays
Jim!

| Subject: | Re: IVO first flight |
As I mentioned previously, the test plane was based at Green Landings, but not
under our control.? One blade was removed and it was operated as a two-blade inflight
adjust.? Performance was quite good, but antidotal since the test pilots
were not particularly careful about getting good numbers.
A small incident occured that involved questions concerning ?proximity of flight??in?a
certain local?airspace and some discussions with very high government
officials security representives.? That necessitated the rapid change back to
the Sensenich ground adjust before further?regulatory interest?was initiated.??
All was resolved and the "referee picked up the flag".? No harm, no foul.? However,
the Senny ground adjust pitch?was reset in the process and the result
has pleased the owner.? So the IVO is collecting dust until some inspiration strikes.
It will be very difficult to match a polished chrome spinner with the IVO and the
rest of the plane.?? Asthetics are important to the owner, so the current performance
with the Senny is acceptable.... tho the IVO may have been faster in
the two blade configuration.??
The owner is headed to Florida in a few days so it will be some months before the
prop might be tried again.?
Lightning business has been brisk at Green Landings, so we dont have a lot of urgency
to test the IVO ourselves.
Another owner?has a Prince P-Tip he is about to install.?? We are all placing our
bets as to the?results of?that prop.? I will keep you posted
Doug Koenigsberg?
Hey Doug: We have not heard any more about this great propeller. Is it still working
OK, or has it been removed from service? How about some more data??

Sorry, but I gotta be a little fuzzy on the details.? It was just two short flights
by two different people.? The airspeed had just been changed because it "indicated
a little low"? but the new one "indicates a little high".?? The speed
runs were in level flight but the optimum prop settings had not be reached.?
175 mph is perhaps the fastest this airframe had gone...and it has had a couple
of Sensnich?props on it before.?? Altitude for the runs was about 1500 feet.??
It was a cool day, so probably close to sea level.
?
The pitch adjust worked fine.? When you lowered the nose after the climbout, the
rpms went past 3300 easily and the pitch adjust dropped it to ???? .?? Tweeking
is needed because it would not turn more than 2350 static.? The owner is looking
for more thrust on takeoff and more speed at the top.? The consensus of
the test pilots was, "that is the fastest that airplane has ever gone"?? ...both
the level passes and the obligitory dive to high speed down the runway were
fast.
?
I dont know the cost of the IVO, since that was not in my department, but it is
close to the cost of the ground adjust Senny.? More than a fixed pitch, but not
by a lot.
?
the other thing was cooling.? Even with no spinner (fitting one will be a bitch)
it ran cooler than usual.?? Of course it was a cool day, but cooling seemed
better.? The IVO has good pitch to the blades close to the air inlets.
?
Again, I would caution those out there?in radio land to wait until more testing
is done.?? And dont plan on it being real scientific.? In my mind, we need to
see how the prop stands the pulses.?? However, the consensus was that this is
the smoothest prop yet, so it cant all be bad.?? the IVO needs to be retorqued
ever hour or so during the first 10 hours of running.? The blades "settle in"
to the grip on the hub plates and it is very important that those not get loose.
?
There is some plan afoot to remove one blade and try it as a two blade (easily
done with an IVO)
?
Keep in mind this project is assisted by the Green Landings technical staff, but
not under their direct control.

Doug,
????How about some clarification of what you mean by "a top of 175".? Is that MHP
or Knots?? And what is "low altitude"?? And since you said low altitude, I
assume you are talking indicated airspeed.? Are we talking wide open throttle??
And are we talking about a "pass down the runway" (I seem to remember you guys
are about 500 AGL)?? And if so, what was the rpm at WOT?? Were you able to
adjust the pitch in flight to get the engine to be WOT at 3300 rpm?
????With the fixed pitch I am now using I can see just over 200 MPH (pulling back
the throttle to keep from going over 3300 rpm) on a high speed pass down the
runway, but remember I am basically at sea level.???At 5000',?(again pulling
back the throttle to stay at 3300) it shows 185 to 187?MPH true.? ??
????Also what is the going price for the in-flight adjustable IVO?? Does it still
have those narrow cord blades??
????How is the Cub project coming along?? And?remember, you are invited to come
here to?fly my Cub.
Blue Skies,
Buz
