Thanks for the replies about props, test pilot flew the plane again this
morning and the local plane legend was there again as well and everyone agreed
that the prop needed to be trimmed down and after what a few of the kr netters
had suggested also, I bit the bullet and trimmed 1/2" off each ti
Hi all, does any one have any advise on props, my kr2 has now had its second
test flight on it, The prop is a Tonini gt, its a 56*44 and i am only getting
2800 rpm on climb and 2900 at 140 Kts. (160 mph) Revmaster claims full power is
85 hp. @ 3200 rpm. the climb also appears to be lacking. engi

my KR will have a revmaster 2100D.
I have a Avid mark IV now with a revmaster 2100D with a 60x28 and will

what I paid

Each inch of diameter you take off will gain you 100 RPM. Minimum static
RPM on the ground, for a VW, is 2900.

52" is not too short for a VW - KR combination and much more simple than
re-pitching.

That R-2300 sure seems like an ideal engine for a KR - designed to get
it's power at lower RPM. This is ideal for a number of reasons. The
higher the RPM the more heat is generated from friction and heat, besides
being totally wasted energy, is the VW's worst enemy. I have a friend
who went thro
Wooden props can be de-pitched. I would do this first before shortening. Peter
ll benefit by at least an
inch of diameter reduction also.

This could be due to the fact that air is thicker over there. One would
think with all the rain and fog that the air would be less dense, however
it seems to be the other way around. That is why the Vickers Vimy would

I know prop numbers don't exactly correspond between differing
manufacturers but it's hard to imagine someone's numbers are so far off
that 48" pitch would be considered a good cruise prop. The Sterba 52 x
