And since lower pitch props have been proven time and again to provide more thrust in static running, who would assume that they don't blow as much cooling air as a higher pitched prop? Someone who didn't understand all the important details?


And who had actually passed final say on how much cooling air is enough? Or even included it in the original myth?

Looks like it's been proven once again, that it's fairly easy to test whatever we want to find out and all we gotta do is test it.

But heck, this engine forum proves over and over again that it's lots more fun to contentiously argue and argue and argue.

What this thread needs now is for some fullscale pilots to start in with how it works in the real world and then get into a spitting match over who's right because they got the most hours.
