Repitched propeller

Flight Time: 3.5 hours ... Total Engine Time: 122.3 hours

Build Time: 0.0 hours ... Analysis Time: 0.0 hours

Reset propeller pitch from 12.5 to 15 degrees. Plane definately behaves differently now. Flew to Wakonda Beach State airport on the coast. Full throttle at 1000MSL yields about 4850-4900 rpm and 110 kts or 127MPH. Cruised at around 4600rpm and 100 kts. Fuel burn turned out to be about 5.5 GPH. Plane accelerates a little slower but not much, will have to do more testing.



Polished some more of the plane, about 3/4 done with the 'center' portion.
