For some reason I thought that Kevin had been flying a 66" ground-adjustable prop.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:26:30 -0600

Well, I'll have to go back to see if Kevin ever posted any observations on howthe Cloudcars performed relative to the Warp Drive. Appearance wise, there isno comparison... the sword of Abdullah wins the prize!

I'll save everyone else the trouble of searching for Kevin's post. Here it is(snipped):========Ive taken so much abuse for the ugly-but-effective Warp Drive prop that I brokedown and bought a wooden prop from Cloudcars. It is 68x34. They originallysent me a 68X27 which Jay calculated to be similar in pitch to my Warp at 7.5degrees. It wasnt enough pitch. They very kindly provided another propeller.It appears to have a little more functional pitch than the Warp. The planeclimbs a little slower, but still at better than 500 fpm, and flies about 10%faster. Since were not allowed to fly our Cloudcars in the rain I may switchto the Warp for traveling to and from Brodhead, and then use the pretty woodenprop while there.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Air-Ground Communications
