(Uli &Gerd Nowack) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 09:01:58 AM PST US From: Uli &Gerd Nowack Subject: Lightning-List: "White Lightning" flies again! Hi everybody, My D-EGFL aka "White Lightning" has received the new propeller blades, made by GT Propellers in Italy after a 3 month wait. The electric constant speed hub is still the same, the new blade type is called V29, and they have a shape that makes it more suitable for the electric drive that is much weaker than a hydraulic hub. And looks better, too! (The ones with the colorfull tips are the old ones.) Yesterday I went flying, and all worked fine. Prop pitch adjustment works in both directions and in both Manual and C/S mode. GT has made a good job balancing the prop in the factory, it runs quite smooth. Performance is also slightly better, climb rate @ 87KIAS and 1340 lbs about 1200ft/min. Top speed with 2700/26MAP in 4000ft : 147KIAS! You might remember that my XS is powered by a ULPower 390iS that has nominally 160hp. That`s it for now, more to come. Greetings from a cold and wet Hessian early autumn!
