Default RE: Regarding SP series engines, props and airspeed...

Ok here it is on the test stand with the varioProps 4-blade hub and 16.6" diameter blades. I started at 13 degrees of pitch, but it could barely turn 3200 rpm's and sounded like it was really straining... so I backed it down to 10 degrees pitch, but was still only turning ~3600 rpm's.... finally decreased the pitch to 8 degrees and got it up to 4200 rpm's. Not sure if this is gonna fly now. []

Thoughts anybody? I'm starting to wonder if I should have just sold this equipment and bought an electric 60 sized Mustang made of EPO foam... ughhhh! [&:]
