 |
|
Hi All wise ones....
Rotax 912S in a Zodiac XL with GSC 3 Blade Prop....
What prop pitch has everyone set?
18degrees seems to stick in my mind, but what has everyone else set the
pitch at?
Ran my engine on Sunday, and it is sweet, smoother than I thought it would
be.
Now to finish the upholstery, and go flying!
Thnx

Suggest you use whatever blade setting gives 5500 rpm max at wide open throttle, warm engine, etc, with the plane tied to an anchor. Be prepared for the brakes NOT to hold, tires to slide on grass, Murphy's Law mishaps.
Others will have variations of this, but just don't exceed the 5800 mark on takeoff.
Happy flying.
