I can't work out my whirlwind GA200L prop adjustment.
The manual says to adjust to 20 to 24 degrees.
I set my IPhone with a suitable app to the hub front and pressed zero.
Placed the wooden paddle on rear of left hand blade (horizontal) and adjusted the blade to 22 deg.
I could not get more than 1500 RPM Static
I reducd the blade angle in 2 degree increments until I could achieve 2400 Static - that was 10 times that I adjusted it until my paddle measured only 12 degrees.
Flys great and thank you to all who have recommended this Prop. But what gives with the set up instructions? What am I missing? Did they send me the wrong paddle, can my and my neighbors smart phones be that inaccurate? Is the documentation incorrect?
Curently achieving 2400 static but only 2600 WOT. Does that sound about right. Sure feels good.
