(Engine size/power, type plane, etc.) I start to think that with a long prop. and staying slower then the speed of sound at the tips, one would want a good amount of pitch to grab the air at slower speeds.

You're welcome Michael. Another voyage ofdiscovery is upon you. :-)Apparently Shubert gave Bernard one of hisprops to use on the Corvair Piet. B liked it somuch that when Schubert contacted him to seehow it was working B was afraid he wanted it back and didn't want to let it go. That story is backthere in the archives somewhere.More than once, if memory serves. :-)Clif________________________________________________________________________________
