Buly,
Looking at the formula given by members on this list, 2 out of 3 were spot
on with Hoverhawk and the third was close.
Examples:
1. Prop Dia x 3.1416x RPM/ 720 - Correct!
2. Prop RPM x Dia x .00436 - Correct ( 3.14/ 720 =.00436)
3. 3.14 x 64 {given prop dia} ( 5500/2.17 {given RPM})= 508346/707 -
slightly incorrect ( as compared to the other 3 examples, which include
Hoverhawk)
i.e 3.14/ 707 = .004809 whereas all the others are 3.14/ 720 = .00436.
Now that I have that sorted - can someone tell me how to calculate pitch,
easily!!
