Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 9:45 am Post subject: pitch angle Warp Drive propeller

Is there  anybody who has a suggestion for the (nearly) correct pitch angle 

(measured  on the tips) on my new 3-blade 68" Warp Drive propeller with 

tapered tips in  combination with a Rotax 912 (80HP) engine. I want 5000 RPM 

static on the  ground. I'm using the original Warp Drive  protractor.



Thanks,

Andy

Andy, I have been running at 17 degrees with the protractor at the inboard 

edge of the metal leading edge.  I may be a bit course at that, but got 5000 

RPM and 800 fpm on a climb out this afternoon from my home airport - 1300 ft 

elev and 98 degrees F.

About 12degs at the tips for a start and test the  static RPM, keep increasing until you get 4500 or so. That'll get you safely in the air.
