> consider purchasing an enclosed trailer for your plane.
A thing that has passed through my mind is that sometimes, particularly now,
an older motor home can be a lot cheaper than an enclosed trailer. I was
looking at some that showed promise. You could gut the interior, build a
back door, and bu

I can buy wing covers, cabin covers, tail covers, and a prop cover.
Will that be enough ...

That is a very nice trailer and ideal for ground transport of the plane. But I
have to ask, with the plane stored sans wings, how often do you put the wings
on and fly the plane? I suspect not much, which is kind of the problem with
storing the plane in a trailer.

Hi Guys;
This was my solution since I cannot find an exceptable hanger yet.
Yeah it was pricey but O'l Blue is worth it and it doesn't take up garage
space.

I don't know about your math, but my KR will do 193 mph TAS at 1700' turning
about 3630 rpm with a Sensenich 54x58 prop. KRs are famous for "breaking
the curve" on what passes for prop efficiency. I've done 191 mph with a

Hi guys. What lerry said is the right thing. We are almost finished with

Have I done my maths correctly??
54 inch pitch X 4,000 rpm = 216000 inches travelled per minute
216000 inches X 60 min = 1296 inches travelled per hour
Divide by 63360 inches in a mile = 204.5 mph
10 % prop slip should be a possible 184.05 mph
58 inch X 3400 X 60 ~ 63360 = 186.74 mph
