Re: Prop Settings

With the Standard Warp drive at 17 deg and reduced to standard atmosphere, at 
622

Kg, Hard dry runway, the take off run is 220 Meter.
With the Mt C.S. prop I have now 200 Meter (standard atmosphere & 622 Kg).

Measured by making a Video of the take off and measuring the distance between 
the

runway lights (several times).

Be cautious with these figures as they are for std atmosphere and temperature 
makes a hell of a difference, also in the air may not mean high enough to clear

obstacles.

We have to make these measurements for the German noise certification.

Best regards

Barry
