Nothing in the description about the glider make or model, the engine, where you are flying? BIG thumbs down to you...
-
Nice one bladed prop ,, arnt they more efitiant than a regular prop because the blade dosent have turbelent air from the other blade to run into
-
i like the prop with the counterweight
-
So now this is just like conventional airplane? You've introduced fuel tanks, valves, pumps, fuel lines, etc..
-
@shinco52 having a bit more weight in a glider surprisingly doesn't affect flight too much, just makes you go a bit faster, which can actually help you travel further. The blade is probably composite, so the counterweight is probably no more than a kg or two.
-
I think it is a full prop that splits in half and folds once stopped, correct?
-
@THEMAN080 It is single blade to allow it to fold into the fuselage. It would be ballanced by a counterweight on the opposite site of the drive shaft. put a nail in one end of a straw and find the center of gravity. thats how that would work.. but just a guess dont quote me.
-
Is there any other advantage of using a single bladed prop, other than to save space in the fuselage? Seems the counterweight needed to make it work is unnecessary weight especially for a glider.

What was that beeping sound?

That beeping sound is the variometer audio, it tells how much one climb or sink.
A Tasman vario made in Australia.

sweet music to me, because it tells when I climb!
You are like my wife, she freaks out listening to it.
I understand your feelings!
