Paul,
I have been a silent but avid follower of your work with aviation
rotaries for several years. My project (RX8 in a biplane} goes along
sooo slowly but I can see
_you_ don't waste any time. I was waiting on
Randy to provide a universal mount, but I think he is so busy right now;
perhaps I should buy the parts and do it myself with the old empirical
method.
My reason for writing is to give you a heads-up. I donated something
to Lamar Instruments.com towards the TTC Project. You spoke of a large
chord, multi blade prop that would take full advantage of the 350HP you
could get at full throttle. If Pilot Dan is up to it and agrees,
perhaps we can generate enough funds to buy or borrow that prop. What
say you? I think you can not only beat the record, but can blow it
right out of the water!
BTW, your math analysis is always so good; do you think you could do a
little perusing through the prop calculations to help us in choosing the
most effective prop choices?
Thanks for all you do for us amateur builders. EAA should be thanking
you profusely.

That is a great offer but Dan just wants to be done with this project. I
think we can get
the record with what we have.
There are so many variable on prop selection. Even the experts get it
wrong 90% of the time.
The solution is ground adjustable. The entire experimental prop industry
is getting on
the ground adjustable band wagon :-)
Here is my way of doing away with the conventional prop flange and going
directly to
ground adjustable prop hub.
