What a great video. I ran it in slow motion. At one point I had impression
that blade had flexed far enough to hit trailer! I would be very concerned for
blade flex unless I had clear proof it has no long term effect.
Hi
Al,
Can't help
but be impressed by the amount of movement :-) I also sent the link to
Warp Drive to see if they had any comment, but I'm not sure if they'll
reply. The Warp drive might survive this, but I don't think I'll be
happy about it unless it can be toned down a bit.
I was curious if video from in front would show the same effects. If
it doesn't, possibly cause is related to fore/aft blade support. Not
likely, but worth checking.
I haven't
videoed it from the front or rear, but I've watched it myself. I can't see
any funny business unless I'm directly to the side of the
prop.
FWIW, I did
the break-in on my Rotax 582 today, and it has a 60" 3 blade Warp Drive
prop. I didn't see any fore and aft blade movement at all when at a
steady speed, though I didn't video it to see the effect of speed
changes.
