Well, I just re-read my previous post, & I'm wondering if bad sentence structure is contagious. :-( Sometimes editing an email does more damage than good.
Anyway, it's hard to argue with Lipps' success at Reno. However, the climb numbers that he published on the VAF forum (for an RV) didn't look that great, so I suspect that he gives up a lot of climb to get that superb high speed performance. With enough excess HP (common on most homebuilts these days), I'd consider giving up some climb efficiency in exchange for cruise performance. But I hate to waste even $20 on a book that's unable to present its info in a useful format.

I had the same opinion, Charlie. It is also hard to take seriously the claim that they are the only ones to truly understand propellers.

Hi Kelly, thanks for the link.
I'm really interested in Lipps' prop designs; they obviously work at
high speeds. Has anyone read this book, or at least browsed through it?
I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but the promotional web site has such bad
sentence structure (structure in general, really). If the book is
written the same way, I'm not sure I could extract useful info.
