Was only interested in prop serial number, so the FAA would take a 25 hour phase 1 fly-off. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leo Gates" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: prop > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Leo Gates > > Richard Navratil wrote: > > >--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Richard Navratil" > > > >I was doing my engine test the other day and in the full power run I was able to get 1900 rpm static run with an A-65 and a 72x42 prop.

My timber was shipped from the States today (being sent to Australia) so I'm eagerly going over the plans ready to swing into action when it arrives. I've decided to start with the tail group but noticed a descrepancy in the length of the leading edge of the rudder, compared to the fin, horizontal stab and tailpost. These three added togeather come up 1/2" short of the rudder leading edge. Is this normal ? Mike Green Romsey Australia
