Tracy, What is the diameter and pitch of your new
prop and who made it? Did you also mention that you
were indicating 215 MPH? WOW! Could you call the prop
manufacture and ask them to figure out your HP? I'll
see you at SnF Ron --- Tracy Crook <lors01@msn.com> wrote:

Don't you have radically increased pitch in the
prop? That will do it.
Charlie
Yep, 88" pitch. Guess I figured even at that blade
angle air flow would be fully stalled past the prop
and the disk area being larger would cause more
drag. I was obviously wrong. Also noticed that having a direct MPG readout makes
finding the most efficient descent angle & throttle
setting easy to find. It's a lot different than on
the other redrive/prop.
