Hi Dane,

Are you still flying your 701 with Great Plains VW engine? I hope to fly mine with a VW and am checking for happy 701 VW folks.

Hi Dane, it's me again, I was sitting here thinking about what I said and realized it made no sense. Let me clear it up. I'm not familiar with Warp Drive props, they seem to be the standard everyone talks about when discussing pitch, I don't know how they or others for that matter measure their angle of adjustment / pitch. I have tried very pitch setting imaginable but I finally decided I wanted a little more cruise. With the pitch set really fine I did see a little better improvement in climb and the initial acceleration was good but cruise suffered immensely. I compromised and set it up for a good climb rate and nice cruise. The engine turns 3750 in climb and I let it stretch out to 3900 for cruise. Any questions let me know.

Hi Dane, I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I missed the friend request somehow. I don,t know what my pitch is, I run a Powerfin That sets with a pin in a hole and feeler gauges. I had it set as fine as it would go when it was 74" but I upgraded the redrive and they sent me one with a little lower ratio. I had to cut the prop down a little to 70" which was a good thing, it improved my prop clearance and removed a Nick. I have it set now at about 14 degrees at the tip, for better cruise. I quit using the pin setup and set it with a digital angle finder now. I'm real, real happy with it now, it cruises at 92 to 94 mph and climbs about 700 fpm. Fuel burn is pretty high but the cruise is quick. I have a blog that answers many questions that folks ask about my setup if you are interested.
