I'm running a Jabiru 2200 4 cylinder 85 hp engine a a 55" X 56" prop. I'm slightly over pitched at the moment as I'm only getting 3050 rpm and the Jabiru should get 3300 rpm, but I'm not changing the prop till I finish off the aircraft (wheel spats, fare in balistic chute and undercarriage, etc).
With only me in, take off weight is about 365kg (805lbs) and with my son in aswell 430kg (948lbs) regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Sellars To: KRnet Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 10:49 PM Subject: Re: KR> Flight Report Stephen: Tell us what power plant and prop you use, and what is your typical takeoff weight, please. That sounds like great performance, I've seen alot of the planes run on for a long time before they get flying speed do to poor combinations, small prop, or weak engine or heavy or all the above.
