Default RE: Parkzones New Warbird F4F Wildcat

Enjoying everybody's contribitions. Just enjoyed a great flying experience with the Wildcat this last weekend. With the exception of a mysterious snap rolling phenomena the little ship with its new experimental "JUST FLY AT ANY ALTITUDE" prop provided really great performance in mile high density air.

It turns out that the GWSEP 108O6P 10X8 SLOW FLYER PROP (6) that performs perfectly in sea level density air is flying faster at higher altitude and is evidently being overstressed in tight high G inside square corners. Softening the corners works well to avoid the snap rolls. The automatic variable pitch characteristics of these props might prove to be my ultimate "JUST FLY AT ANY ALTITUDE" props if they will hold together and I can remember to not yank the
stick too hard at low altitude.

Out.
