Hi guys & Gals,
I just received my new Prop from "CloudCars". It looks BEAUTIFUL. This
prop reminds me of the high quality & low price we use to get from Pacesetter
Props. Pacesetter is no longer in business but man did I love my old Pacesetter
prop. The guy who made my new prop is Jay Anderson. He is very knowledgeable
and willing to work with you to get a custom Prop that you will love.
His prices are extremely fair (I got mine for about $500.oo including s your
price may vary depending on what you want) and the delivery time was only about
6 weeks. For a custom made, quality Prop you can't beat that price with a
stick. You can contact Jay at cloudcars99@yahoo.com or (325) 356-2810. His
motto/slogan is "Quality Wood Propellers at Reasonable Prices". I'm a satisfied
customer.
**note: I get no discount, nor do I have any financial interest in this
business.** We experimental builders & flyers should support small businesses
that provide quality products & service at reasonable prices. That's why
I'm sharing this hot tip with all the RV folks. If you call him, tell 'em Chuck
says "Hi".
Chuck

Beautiful! Thanks Arvil. I'm completely with you on the manual flaps and trim.
My electric flap motor decided to make smoke one day, luckily I was on the
ground watching it rather than smelling it on final! All manual for me from now
on.

Scott,
The RV-4 will fly at 50 miles an hour with full flaps and a little power to matain
your decent, this may be a little high or a little low depending on the prop
and the weight of the plane and how well it is riged, but it will be perty
close , I have a 900 foot strip in north west fla.
that is down hill 3 drgees with 60 foot trees at the end of the runnway , using
a 50mph. approch speed again with a little power an RV-4 using manual flaps can
land in 450 feet with only a little braking and the flaps dumped at tuch down
are just after
Rob Ray, yes the F-16 hot rod known as < Smokey > flys in my strip on a monthly
bases and rarely uses half of it, I flew a 1960 210 in and out of my strip for
severl years with no problem , There is no magic to short field landings I learnd
to fly in 1964 and have aways practices
short field landings , over the years I have had 5 inflight problems that caused
me to make a force landing they were uneventful do to plenty of practices ,at
slow landings, Rob,s Dad also had a force landing that tour up his plane but
do to his slow flight experance he survived the
crash !
The main thing Bob, and Rob, were trying to point out is you are 4 times more likly
to have problems with Elec/ Mechanical, flaps, and trim, then just Mechanical
flaps, and trim , even tho a lot of people havent had eney problems, I prefer
to reduce the ods as much as I can,

work in my Champ and doggone one of these days I'm going to learn to slow my
RV-4 down. I'd like a target airspeed to start with (at altitude) and see how
it works then adjust it up or down for my plane.
