I agree about too fine a pitch setting possibly being very determental

safe flight. That is why I was interested in having the propeller

program

run to see what rpm on the LAEV would give equivalent thrust as my

68x72

prop at prop speeds from 2300-2500 rpm

Ed:  I can do that analysis, send me approximate blade chord and
thickness and actual blade angle in degrees through the chord line (if
possible) at 3" radial stations of your prop.

Ok, Perry.

    I won't be able to get the measurement to you until Friday.  I'll do the
best I can on getting your the actual blade angle at 3" radial stations -
What reference point do you use for the blade angle? The front surface of
the prop hub?  The chord line at the  tip of the blade?  I'm new at this, so
any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ed
