Daul Plugs

[Keith Black]

On RCU there's a long thread about a turboprop RC plane that uses a variable pitch prop. It's similar to what's used on helicopters and what allows heli's to hover upside down. 

Sitting on the runway he could actually make the plane back-up.  

With a variable pitched prop on our planes we could have some very interesting downlines, maybe even hover tail up!

  Hey Bob,

  I heard that 1300rpm's for the idle impresses the judges and turns the 6's into 9's....the reason is the model flies sooo much better that it doesn't matter how you move the sticks....when you get done doing a downline the judges applaud and the crowd throws roses to the pilot....Like  a Bull fighter the pilot goes over and kisses the fair maiden and the crowd goes wild.....Nike Sponsorships.....TV commercials....and even a expense account.....Man Sign me up! 


  or better yet,

  Electric?

  Idle is zero and its quiet!

  This is all in fun guys.....but you would think from the comments being made its the difference between a national champion and 25th place.....

        Be careful about idling that low. Mine would go down to 1300 but would occasionally stutter and start running backwards. Obviously not a good thing.



      Yeah .  But the downline braking would be AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


    It's the final BREAKING at the end of the down line that is the problem :-)
