Peter Congratulations on first flight
We used 13 degrees with a 66 inch
3 blade on Rays 601 HD so it should be less than that.
Are you aware that Warp Drive recommend a minimum idle speed of 1000
rpm to prevent the blade route aluminium ferrules from cracking from
engine pulses we did not and they replaced our blades.
We have now changed to a 66x52 wooden prop as 1000 rpm
gives a high taxi speed, our original prop was a 68 inch but found the
ground clearance insufficient on the HD

Hi Guys,
A good day today, my 601XL completed its first flight today with no
problems. I had the elevator trim wired incorrectly and up was down,
down was up which made for an interesting flight. I also need to
re-pitch the prop a bit to give a bit more rpm on takeoff.
I'll post a couple of pics later.
Anybody out there using a 68" three blade warp drive on an O-200, I
would be interested to know what pitch angle the prop is set to.
What a beautiful airplane to fly, Keep at it guys.
Cheers
Peter
