[quote] "seems like" it has a vibration or gurgle, then the rpm's shoot up from 3000 to 3600. It feels like a car when you are driving and push the clutch in without taking the foot off the gas. That sort of sounds like the prop tips are going supersonic? ? ? ? ? ? ? Regards, Myron (Dan)

The fuel venting problem was solved by not filling the header too full.  Now I'm having some vibration and high RPM's on takeoff.  At around 400 ft the canopy has a little shake and the motor "seems like" it has a vibration or gurgle, then the rpm's shoot up from 3000 to 3600.  It feels like a

Sorry, it was a gross simplification.  I guess I should have stated that without the U.S., Britton, Russia, and all of Europe would have fallen.  Brittan's "few", including volunteer pilots from the U.S. and Canada, did an incredible job, but Brittan's resources were limited and as a combined

"for being from the country that saved that country from falling to the Germans?" I know I shouldn't respond to this but to suggest that the United States is responsible for saving Great Brittan from the Germans is just wrong. It was England's "Few" that defeated Hitler's Luftwaffe and without

Beautiful area and photos, but what is with this comment?: "She was Brazilian,and he was Peruvian. I said I was American, and she groaned. I can't blame her. " Are you being apologetic for being American and for being from the country that saved that country from falling to the Germans?

NetHeads, My wife recently bought me a gizmo to weigh my bag before I come back over from here (I didn't want to bring my 10-pound 400 lb scale that I bought for weight and balances), and it's only $15-$20 (at least that's what you would admit). Last night I was trying to figure out what else

If the prop has an aluminum hub to support the blades, I would not use it on a direct drive VW. 5 knows failures of Warp Drive 3 blade props on direct drive VW based engines, personal experience over 28 years. Unclear wheather its torsional vibration or simply overloading the crank because

2009-05-29 Thread Bob Lee
Pete was correct about how the Ivoprop works, the blades are twisted spanwise to reduce or increase the pitch of the prop. As Mark L. pointed out, this is what is required to make a really efficient prop. So in theory, the Ivoprop can be a very good option. Unfortunately, they have never solved

2009-05-29 Thread Mark Langford
The thing about ground adjustable props is that they are not the magic bullet that one might think. The blades still have a fixed amount of twist in them, and simply rotating the blades around in their sockets doesn't really change the "washout" on the blades from root to tip, it simply
