Interestingly my 360 glides father with the prop windmilling than it does
with the prop stopped. This is the first airplane that I have flown that
glides further with the prop windmilling. Most airplanes have a
significant
increase in glide range with the prop stopped. My 2 blade Hartzell prop is
longer than most Lancair 360's at 72" diameter.<
Just curious, in what position did the
prop stop? I have the 68" Hartzell and I found that the glide was better with the prop stopped. My prop stopped at about a 45 degree
angle.
Do you recall what your tests indicated was the best glide speed at MGW? James B. Frantz
