Hi. I was idly thinking the other day about fixed prop pitch vs IAS/TAS in the real world. I know there are formulae and estimates for 'slip' but I was wondering about real world results in Starduster Toos so.... - what prop pitch do you have and what speeds do you get at what RPM? Either recalc for sea level and std atmosphere or give those details. I know it's not going to be very scientific and will vary by pitot location etc. but I thought it might be interesting to see how close / different the results are...

BTW I would start the process but my 'Duster is still in rebuild. Hopefully she will be flying very soon.

Cheers
