Hi George,
We finally set our Warp Prop at 12 degrees at the tip using the warp protractor
and the prop blades level. At gross weight with me an a pax, full fuel, we get
about 5350 rpm on climout at 60 mph and 850-900 fpm (assuming our VSI is correct).
We can easily go to 5500 rpm in level flight at max throttle. we are
cruising around 70-75 at 4800 rpm. We have a 912ULS 100 HP.
Regards,
Tommy Walker

PS I like Zed's idea. You could measure one blade at 12 degrees at the tip, then
check the measurement at the widest part of the blade, then do the other two
at that setting.
[quote="george.mueller(at)aurora."]Is there anyone on this list with a flying 701
with a Rotax 912UL (80HP) and a warp drive three blade prop? What pitch (measured
at the tips) do you have on the prop and what kind of climb and cruise
are you seeing? With me (230 lbs), my BRS chute and full tanks I am about 50
lbs shy of gross and am seeing 500 fpm climb and 75 mph cruise at about 5400
rpm. Is this normal performance? I only have about 5 degrees pitch on the prop
which gives me 5650 rpm with full throttle in straight and level flight at
about 2000 MSL.
