Wilt" Subject: Re: Lightning-List: How is D-EGFL aka White Lightning? Gerd, I don't always get the matronics e-mails. I am surprised I got this one. It sounds like a little article about your propeller would be good for the next newsletter. I would certainly appreciate it if you could put one together. Pictures would certainly help. And a Pilot Spotlight about you sometime would help as well. Regards, Dennis W. Wilt N616DW (Arion Lightning S/N 132) -----Original Message----- From: Uli &Gerd Nowack Sent: Tue, May 23, 2017 9:52 am Subject: Lightning-List: How is D-EGFL aka White Lightning? Hi Bear, hello group! Sorry for the long time it took to answer. My White Lightning flies fine. The ULPower 390iS is humming along nicely, it has over 50hrs now ( 44hrs flight time so far). The CS propeller from GT / Italy runs very smooth. I had to sent it to Italy last year because the blade pitch motor and its gear was not working as it should. They took a long time to fix it, because they had just developed a very nice new blade that would fit my hub. When they finally had made a set for me they found that it wouldn`t work because it needed the (much higher ) force of the hydraulic hub it was made for . So they sent me the prop back with the old blades and with a new pitch drive motor. The prop can now be adjusted at any speed and pwr setting, so I am happy for the moment. They are in the process to make a modified version of their new blade ( It`s called V29 btw) that will finally work with my electric hub. I have high hopes that the new blades will add some knots. Performance at present is quite good. I get 145 knots IAS in 3000ft with 2600rpm and WOT meaning 26MAP, that means about 110 hp output. The fuel consumption is 25l /h, er... a little more than 6 USG. Autogas, sold for not more than $6,75 per USG in Germany. Not even $42 for gas per hour. Cheap, huh? ;-) Well, my hangar neighbor`s Arrow burns fuel worth $99 per hr! And he is NOT getting 145KIAS with 75%! I have solved the problem of CHTs being too low by partially closing the cooling outlet area and getting rid of the lip that protruded down from the underside of the cowl. That alone gave me 3 KIAS more! Btw I have calibrated my airspeed indication by checking the TAS indicated on my GRT. The error in my case is about 3KTAS @140KTAS. At low speeds the error is almost zero. Good work, you guys from GRT! In case anybody is interested in an Excel spreadsheed needed for this check , just mail. For the check you need a GPS GS and the GPS track. The check can, of course, be used to calculate your IAS error and the calibrated airspeeds. Finally: I am absolutely happy with my central single stick and the throttle on the side of the cockpit. I am looking back at 18 years of flying with side sticks commercially so this just feels natural to me. And the cockpit much roomier! That`s it for the moment. When I have flown with the new blades I plan to write something for Dennis` Newsletter. With pics. And maybe an application for Lightning of the Quarter!
