| Subject: | 2 blade to 3 blade conversion |
--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Milt" <rocket@swmrmc.org>
My 3 blade is in a truck and on its way. Those of you who have made this conversion:
do I need to alter the way I fly ie: airspeeds in the approach, landing,
TO etc????
Does it have any impact on engine cooling?
Does anyone need a 2 blade? I have Mark Frederick's original with about 300 hrs
on it.

No changes, Milt. Re-weigh your ship and come up with a new W&B chart. You
will also have to go back into Phase 1 for 5 hrs to complete the required flight
testing. Notify your local FSDO about the change too. Make the appropriately
worded notation in the logbook after the flight testing is completed.
Gotta get the paperwork right!
Cooling: a trick I learned is that when you slow down (as in approach to OSH
or LAL for the Really Big Shows), pull your RPM back to 2000 or so, and keep
the MP up a bit. This will help low speed cooling. 2300RPM/15" is not good for
cooling...
Cheers
Mark

Mark,
That's an interesting approach, high MP low RPM for cooling. I thought the
high MP causes the bigger fire and hence the higher temps.
Care to elaborate?
Nico

No problem. I should have noted that MP could be as high as 22-23" at 2000
(the Lyc manual sez 27" is ok, but my engine shakes pretty good at any MP above
24" at 2000RPM. It feels distressed, so I don't follow that limit), but in the
'pattern' at the big shows I usually see 17-18" or so to follow their
~100KIAS rule. No problems with that power setting; cooling is good.
Some photo shoots have required this power setting too: form with a 172 = not
very fast.
Descent setting is always 20"/2000RPM -- looking for about 8.5GPH there to
keep the fire lit and temps up.
Cheers
Mark

Question: Sir,
I am interested in buying a fast light airplane, either an RV-4/8 or maybe
an Harmon Rocket II, preferably with inverted fuel and oil and dual controls.
Does the Harmon Rockets and the RVs have the same fuselage and wings? Where
is the best place to start looking for an airplane ca. 1990-2000 model? And
what could I get for approx US=A7 100.000?
Are there any Harmon Rocket Clubs or builders clubs I could mail with. I am
very grateful for all kinds of information!
Regards,
