We then pitched it to 17 deg and could only get 3000rpm for takeoff but the clime was still 1400fpm and now I cruse 100rpm less than the sensenich at 96 MPH and 2560RPM. This is the first prop we have tested that preforms better than the sensenich. There is talk that air master might make a controllable prop that will use these blades(I hope so). Next we will test the new Whirl Wind 2 blade.
