Dennis,

Try pointing at the file & right clicking to get the popup menu. There's a 'powertoy' for XP that adds an option to resize pics; the 'large' option gives around 100kB image which is just right for email/computer screens.

It *might* be built into Vista.

If that doesn't work, try right clicking on the file & see if there's an option to send the file to email recipient. If there is, it should resize automatically.

I need to resize some pictures I'd like to send to the group.  I am using Windows Vista - does anyone know of an easy way for me to do this?
 
Thanks,

Dennis,

Could you please describe the “hump” a little better?  Are you talking about trying to turn the air in the plenum?  Pictures perhaps?

My Catto 76X88 prop for the Renesis has a maximum cord of 6 ".  If yours is wider I believe it is too big for the engine.  My static was 5730 rpm  on a  90 deg day.

 

When I first started flying the rotary (three years ago) I had oil and water cooling problems - I used a home made wind tunnel 2 inches wide inserted into the cowl and blew air into it with a squirrel cage blower from a home A/C unit.  I used a manometer on the back side of the radiator to measure air pressure as the air came through the radiator.  I found I needed a good hump in the lower part of the cowl inlet to deflect incoming air evenly through the oil and water radiators.  My radiators are side-by-side.

 

You might use a GPS to compare with the air speed gages to make sure they are in the ball park.
