Re: [Titanaircraft] Re: Wheel Pants

Kimberly,
 
I have another question. I have an IVO in-flight adjust medium prop. I'm not sure how to ask this properly but is there a way to adjust the prop to get more pitch out of it? I know max rpm should be 5500 on the 912s but I easily get 5600, which I do not run so don't worry, so can I add more pitch to the prop somehow?
 
Thank you very much,
 
Bill

To Kimberly/LS/ Brian,
 
I appreciate your help. I do feel with all your experience combined that I am getting the proper information. I just need to learn that most people are proud of the machine they have not so much the one I have. But I would like to ask how much more speed you get out of having gear leg fairings and wheel pants. Is it worth buying and installing? If so, how much are they installed Kimberly? lol
 
Thanks,
 
Bill

I have had a Titan I (23' wing) with a Jab 2200 and also have a Titan S with the 2200 (23-1/2' wing), both airplanes cruised between 105 and 110 mph where others with the same setup were posting numbers of 115 to 125? go figure, I don't even think I could hit 125 at wot.

Don't remember exactly, but when I was ferrying 972SS from JD's place, the cruise was around 105 indicated (that was with the IVO prop on it). A couple times I went to 110 and that felt like I was pushing it a bit hard (seems my SS has a little more drag than the other ones probably due to the wider/taller cabin).

So, 110 mph without burning a whole lot of gas is pretty good if you ask me.......

Any suggestions of why I'm not getting the speed that others tell me I should be getting. They tell me I should be cruising at least 120.
