Hi Phillip, no, that's a fair question, I am running a 13b Mazda, which I like. I have been able to easily overspeed the 3 different props I use, including the Ivo Magnum, which I liked,as it tracked well and was almost as smooth as my Lydick prop and would drag my tires on dry pavement during runup,  but lacked pitch for my application.

 Now going to a bigger club and taller gears. Think I've got some engine pics on my profile.

Cheers! Robert, Tallil, Iraq

Hi Stuart, drive ratio is determined by turning the input shaft 10 times, while counting output shaft rotations.Divide result by 10. What was your redrive used on, and how do you come to be on ez.org? Sincerely, Robert

Hi Oly, I am running a 13b in my long ez, ross redrive, and have used both 2 and 3 blade props, my preference was the Ivo magnum, but have gone back to 3 blade wood for CG. I reccomend the ground adjust Ivo if you have cg to spare. Also, I am looking to buy 2.13 gear set for Ross, any advice where to find? Thanks, Bob Mencl, N613NC

Hangar Flying / propeller

IF 3 blade props were better, 4 blade would be even better...and 5 even better! But, a 3 blade has 1/3 more drag, and weighs 1/3 more than a 2 ...Continuing this thought, I wonder if I could increase performance by inventing a 1 blade prop (theoretically 50 percent drag  and weight reduction.....Oh, I better quit while I am ahead...N613NC, 3 blade.

Hi Bruce, I put my insert nuts in the crank flange by freezing and greasing them, and sucked them in with a long thread 5/16" bolt and impact wrench, with a half inch drive socket over the outboard end of the insert. (there is no stres on the crank) I have had good success with nuts that spin by knurling them with a cold chisel, and epoxying into crank flange. Good luck, R.

Glennbob, no, I don't have prints, but as that is the only part I am lacking, it seems unnecessary. I just need the dimension. My rotary conversion is almost done. Bob in Houston
