Jerb, I've never "sat behind" one except the 2 in my garage and they were in Bugs. Of the few I checked with a calculator: Power = 1.31 x Dia(to the forth...
Thnaks for the info Jerb! I wouldn't be operating it as an Anphib. Just from grass and cement. I'm going to give it a shot with the HKS and see how it goes!...
For flight planning purposes the FAA doesn't require that the occupants be weighed. Rather the FAA "standard pilot" weight of 170 lbs can be used. For the...

... I think you are right. I've just started looking into it and I am amazed how much is not in the written test. They have removed all aircraft questions so...
Rich, Your formula: "> Power = 1.31 x Dia(to the forth power) x Pitch x RPM(cubed)" Has me wondering. My wonderment starts with: --what is the scale of...

I just returned from Oshkosh last night. I hope all of you I meet there made it back home safely. Quite a few were flying out Sunday morning in strong winds...
R, diameter and pitch are in feet rpm is in thousands of rotations per minute power is in watts (1w=.0013404hp) Not the most convenient "scale" but if depicted...
Charlie, Since 3 blade props are only 13% more effective than a 2 blade of equivalent diameter you multiply by 1.13 and then plug it in. -Rich From:...
... Power = 1.31 x Dia(to the forth power) x Pitch x RPM(cubed)" ... My old 1/2 VW turned a 56x22 TPI at 3600 rpm 56 in dia = 4.67 ft 22 in pitch = 1.83 ft ...
Charlie, Hmmm... the calculations look correct to me. I'll plug the same values into the HP tonight when I get home and see. Should try some of those...

Charlie, I just went through the Geo archives and pulled out a set of numbers that were typical of other E81 engines (1800cc 210lb.) and also they were...

Yeah, maybe I'm not remembering the formula right. The only part I checked today was the watts to hp in one of the Tony Bingelis books. Although the Geo...
