Hey Paul,

I seem to recall some discussion from ACRE from a long time ago regarding prop loads and some general rules of thumb regarding standard gyro loads for aerobatic and non-aerobatic aircraft.  I don't
have the time to go through a CD or archives... do you have your source handy or a summarized account?

Thanks.

Yes. Sky Ranch Engineering manual. Page 436. 610 foot pounds for a typical
constant speed prop at one radian per second pitch or yaw.
