[NSRCA-discussion] Winter practice plane

[Jim Woodward]

Hi Wayne,  All

 

I personally will be taking 'electric-like' comparisons to my glow setup
out of the vocabulary for good!  For a while it has been a goal for few,
and myself included, to try to get glow to perform in the same window as
electric setups.  I'm damn glad to put that phase behind me.  I do like
the speed control offered by the 18.1x10.1 and the 15.75x10 3 blades,
but they have the "ballistic" option available when needed too - as
attested to by the Tangerine contest.  While I don't think I need to fly
as fast as David Shulman (... who may still be apologizing the
air-molecules the Australl was splitting apart), I'm not going to be
flying "touchy-feely" stuff anymore either.  At this point I still think
"medium" is a nice thought to have, but it was also pretty cool to see
some "big" maneuvers flown again around the 180-200 mark again.  

 

Thanks,

Jim W.

The 18.5x9.5 APC should be a good prop also.  Dr Harrison is running one
and he likes it.  The Mejlic is about 2.5 oz lighter and would spin up
little better even if it did load the engine(O.S.1.40) more.  Had a very
electric like transition on throttle and a very constant speed.  Engine
rpms did not seem to increase from 5/8 to full throttle but you had the
power as you advanced the throttle in uplines.

		Matt,

		 

		If you get a chance try the Mejlic 19x10 c.f. prop.  It
worked OK on my OS 1.40... a bit on the loaded side but I bet the BEAST
would turn it just fine.

	Wayne, should be good, we'll see. Used to have an 18x10W Mejlik
running on the W145. Engine had enough grunt to turn it ok. 

	 

	Also will look at the 19.5x9.5. APC
