[NSRCA-discussion] Winter practice plane

Fri Dec 15 11:01:02 AKST 2006

OK Dave.....   "Flies like an electric"  was not an appropriate term to use.   I guess what I meant to say is with the different prop (i.e. 19x10 ) my throttle control was better and not all over the place.  It was kinda turbine like... yah that's it.

  Yes!!!  I don't believe anyone flew the slow-pretty-140 style......meaning "flies like an electric" no longer means what it used to!!

    I knew that would perk you ears Dave J.  However, to my view Jason flew electric on Saturday with about the same presentation he flew the glow on Sunday.  Saturday's flying was not slow-pretty-140 meter, 22x11 flying, it was a lot faster than usual.

    Hmmm.......180-200m is supposed to be a mandatory downgrade.  Never thought I'd see an Astral appear to be an Aurora in the air <G>.

    At the rather windy Tangerine, Jason won FAI flying electric on Saturday and glow on Sunday.  Only round Jason lost was when the very new DZ chewed up a plug and flamed out.  I flew electric the whole weekend and finished in 2nd.

    Emory won 3 rounds in Masters flying electric and might have won the rest if he was able to return on Sunday.

    Electric or glow, I'm all for my competitors flying at 180+ meters!!!   <G>

      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 G.

        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
