Thank you,
thank you. I try hard to please. :)
Thanks for the update. It's a little
scary dealing with a company so far away, but Max seems like a straight up guy
so I never really had any doubt he'd come through. Just took a little longer than I'd
hoped.
400HP. Yes.
he mentioned that. A bit lower at my max rpm of 6300, but still - plenty of
grunt. :)
> From what he explained to me
was that you will get more boost for a slower turbine rpm,
I thought
it was less boost for the same airflow.
> He did mention something
about throwing in a couple of peacock feathers just incase you blow it
again.
Oh! Nice
touch.
> Now im thinking of changing
prop size. ( currently ivo 70" variable high pitch 3
blade ) can you make any suggestions.
Well mines
a wood 68 three blade with 314 blade area from Performance. It'll
accelerate the plane to take off in 1000 - 1500 feet at 4300 rpm and climb
quickly at 5000. It'll even climb at 2300 rpm. Should be ideal for about 280
hp in cruise and should get me a better top speed than a variable pitch. Given
that you need 2000ft to land I'm not sure a variable pitch prop will buy
you anything on a Cozy, and it'll probably cost you at the top end. Are you
building a Cozy or an RV? I forget.
Cheers,
