Um ,,,,,,,,,OK. [sm=72_72.gif]
So how can I use this information in choosing my next prop? Thanks Pe. Jeff
You can use the power calculator to check out a range of props you think are suitable, then read the required rpm for engine power. You need to juggle the parameters a bit until the power matches your engine.
OR, you can test a prop, measure rpm, and read the power that is required to turn that prop. That way you can define and draw your engine's power curve. Having that, you can easily find any prop/rpm combo that matches the curve.
