Re: Europa-List: Constant Speed Props, etc.

Fred and all,
Martin will be sending the new blades to me for test also.  I will run a 
test of the fixed warp drive, standard Airmaster AP332 with Warp drive 
blades and the new Kiev blades.  Probably won't get the two blade for 
the Europa test, but I can hope.  We look to have the two blade on a 
float plane with longer blades than we use (68").  Look for info to 
follow, and postings to my website.  Should be just after Sun n Fun. in 
early May...

  To those who have yet to make a prop-commitment, these new blades 
Airmaster is testing look like a vast improvement over the Warp Drive 
blades.

    Hi Fred

    It is true we are testing new propeller types.

    For the Europa we are currently in the process of testing a two 
blade
    propeller using Sensenich blades and a three blade propeller using 
Kiev
    (amounst others) Both are at a diameter of 64in.  Each will have 
advantages
    and disadvantages compared to the Warpdrive.

    I will make results available once I have a good idea of how these 
new
    propellers will perform.

    Regards
    Martin

    Some time ago, I heard talk that Airmaster was going to offer an
    alternative to the Warp Drive blades...am I correct?...was it just
    talk?...what is the current status of such an offering?

    My enquiry is w/ regard to a Europa XS monowheel which necessitates 
a
    rather small diameter propeller.

    Thanks much,

    Fred
