RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread
It was fast but, you've got to remember we had winds gusting to 27mph so those downwind passes were "helped" Living here in Lubbock, TX, we are at 3500 ft altitude on the ground. Add in 100 degrees and we sometimes see density altitudes of 10,000ft! I think that was the reason for the anemic performance of the Saito radial. We are still experimenting with prop size. We'll eventually find the correct size. We'd like to use a scale 3 blade but so far, all the hubs are too thick for the Hacker's shaft length when you add the spinner. We'll eventually latch on to the best combo.
