I did look briefly on the internet but did not find clarity.  Perhaps
I should look harder....anyway, here is the problem:  Some of the LSA
engine prop combinations use quite short props, much shorter than I
am used to.    Could some one tell me the tip speed of a sixty inch
diameter prop turning   3400 rpm.

Go to www.warpdrive.com (not actually the prop company, but a major
distributor).  They have a link to an online prop speed/rpm/diameter
calculator.

The link doesn't work for me..  any one else?

My error, it's www.warpdriveprops.com, but the actual tip speed
calculator is at http://www.hoverhawk.com/propspd.html
