Thanks for the update Ken,I muck around with models a fair bit and even with them, the prop size/pitch can make a huge difference to the performance you get!Good luck with your testing.CheersMark S--------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the update. Very exciting!I spoke with William Wynne on another topic today, and updated him on your progressat the same time. He is up in New Jersey helping with his parents so he wasnot able to post today. However, he wanted me to pass along his congrats. Healso wanted to tell you that he has a Warp Drive prop that he is happy to sendyou for testing purposes. He has a horsepower absorption chart (I think thatis the right term. If it is wrong,it's my ignorance not his) that he can easilyconvert your static rpm to horsepower with that prop. He is happy to let youborrow it as long as you need it.Just email him or call him and he will get back to you later this week when hegets back to Florida.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: two more test flights
