582 and WARP drive

Postby Aerosan » Tue Oct 03, 2006 3:26 pm

Just a question, is there anyone here that runs a 68" 3 blade warp drive on a 582? Junkie posted a while ago that his setting is 21degrees 50cm from the bolts. But he has a 62" warp and I think a 3.47 drive. I dont get anywhere near that :shock: Im at 11 degrees AT THE TIP with a 2.93 beld drive. Piet prop recons it is just about right. puff I rev 6200 static so it does sort of check out but I would feel a hell of a lot better if someone could confirm that :D

10 000 zim dollars to the one who gives me the right answer :twisted:

Cheers San

Hi John
Please ignore the Duck you know at his age :roll: he might know more, the problem is he doent know where he put it:!: anyway what is your pitch at the tip of the blade? or are you saying that your config including the pitch etc. is excactly the same:?:

Thanx for your help

Hi San,

We Microlight junkies are just not good enough to be able to determine “exactly the same”. :lol:

Simplified, [assuming a well maintained engine and ancillaries], 6200 rpm on a 582 should be delivering maximum static thrust at the business end.

I have not had a need to measure nor adjust mine since purchase – although I do have all the books and gauges here.
