Pietenpol-List: First flight with new Cloudcars Prop
Original Posted By: Hans van der Voort
Wow. I took N7035N for my first flight of the year with my new Cloudcars prop lastnight. Simply incredible. I didn't have a passenger for weight nor a stopwatch so I don't have any specs, but it definitely climbs like a homesick angel.But the beautiful surprises were smoothness and cruise speed. I've picked upat least 5 mph (from 65 to 70 mph) on cruise with a bit lower power setting(about 2050 yo 2100 rpm). And I didn't even realize my Sensenich prop was outof balance until I felt the smooth power with the new prop.To say I am elated is beyond understatement. BTW, I had a hard time finding Cloudcars(thanks Jack for sending me the address last fall). So if anybody wantsto contact them, their email adress is: "Jay & Carmen" See mu big grin: ;o)--------Dale McCleskeyN7035NRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 07:07:45 -0700 (PDT)
