>>>> Steve, why do you want the dead engine to windmill ? Didn't the CAFE folks find that a =stopped= prop was better for glide range than one wind milling? One more guy who likes wind milling props- Had some of the same experiences. Idiot runs tank dry. Quick switch of tanks, hit fuel boost, engine sounds much better, wife didn't even realize it happened, asked why I moved so fast all of a sudden. Why doesn't the auto conversion windmill? Is it engine compression ratio? Or blade area of the prop? Russ Breckenridge,MN KR2/KR1 [email protected]
