Without my wastegate flapper, I can't compensate with extra boost so my best chance to be competitive this year is to find a faster prop. My prop is a 3-blade 64x78. I would be better off with a slightly longer 2-blade 74-78" pitch with about 76" pitch being perfect. Does anyone in the southwest have such a left turning prop and spinner that he would be willing to lend out for the race? I may work on getting mine re-pitched.... its too late to re-install the flapper valve, that will have to wait until next year. :-) -- David Leonard Turbo Rotary RV-6 N4VY http://N4VY.RotaryRoster.net http://RotaryRoster.net ------=_Part_13325_11318674.1206376623511 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline So the local guys decided we are going to hold a race, and of course I plan on attending:
