takers?

Rans tells me that the prop that they use is a Sensinich ; W68T4RR-63.
If my math is right, and there is no slippage, the 63" pitch equates to
135.093 mph at 5500 with the 912S.
THAT would be a nice cruise! 
Hmmmm,,, I may need to check the price. I have kinda been avoiding wood so
I don't have to worry about humidity affects or flying in rain.

Yes Randy,
135 mph! "Wooden" that be neat? Ha ha
Probably not the best prop on floats if made of wood.
It immediately strikes me as a nice thing to know:
the no slip speed minus the actual cruise = the slip.
Knowing the slip is another way of measuring your
plane's drag.
Just thinking.....
Too much time again and getting complex, I know.
Stopping,
