Propeller stall?

It only shows it stalled for the first 3-4 mph, and plenty of thrust.

I have a motor/gear/prop combo that motocalc says is propeller stalled while static, but it makes plenty of thrust. I was...

Propeller stall?

I've noticed that Motocalc says that the propeller is "stalled" with some high pitch combinations.

Anyone care to go into this? It seems that adding pitch doesn't add thrust when this happens...

speed vs wing loading

I realize this is going to vary by wing design and so on, but isn't there a reasonable correlation between wing loading and flying speed?

Newbie foibles with J-3 Cub

I came up with using an IPSD from GWS, running on 3 lithiums, with moderate gear and prop. I...

Motocalc

Ok, so I"m working on a balsa kit. Can I rely on the info I get from motocalc to ensure I get a "good" fit, and that it will perform roughly like it says?

Motocalc

Just how accurate is Motocalc?

I mean, things like temperature and power?

How "hot" should one let a motor run?

Ideas on power choice
