Paul;I can only relate my own experience, and here it is. I left a fly-in on a nicemild sunny afternoon in Texas, field elevation maybe 600'MSL. I was not at gross,maybe half fuel, but two aboard. My airplane has a fresh A75. We werejust about leveled off at our cruise altitude of maybe 2500-3000' headed homewhen out of nowhere from behind us comes "Axel" Purtee in his Corvair-poweredPiet, also two aboard, and formed up on our wing for photos. Mind you, we hadabout a 10 minute head start and he had caught up with us. After the photoshe firewalled it and walked away. His "Fat Bottomed Girl" weighed more than myairplane. The Corvair is a very competent engine for the Air Camper.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

If you are interested in a discussion of propeller efficiency based upon actualtesting, you might want to read a recent post by William Wynne at FlyCorvair.net-http://flycorvair.net/2014/02/25/myths- ... ficency/It is a good discussion of propeller efficiency in general and not just as it relatesto Corvair engines. A good read.--------Semper Fi,Terry HandAthens, GARead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: corvair acceleration
