Date Posted: Mon, Oct 22 2012, 11:36:56 GMT My Pulsar taildragger has a Warp Drive 582 comp prop with the blade angles set to 14.5 degrees at the tip. This gives good cruise performance but I need most of our 525 metre grass strip to get airborne in worse case conditions (max takeoff weight, zero head wind , soft ground). Performance at MTOW is: 115kts at 6500rpm 107kts at 6000rpm 90kts at 5000rpm “Normalized” sea level climb rate (using the LAA spreadsheet) is 820 feet/min at 80kts. I get 6050 rpm static but this drops to around 5900 rpm as airspeed goes through around 60kts. Just wondered what props/pitches other 582 Pulsators are using and what performance you are getting? Also does anyone know of an in air adjustable prop? Cheers Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
