PERFECT!!!!! uh....now all I need to do is win the lottery. :D

I guess since I wont be able to go swimming, I will need to get wet one way or another :D Steve

Mike: I thought about air a little, but as a newbie, certainly not enough. I looked at a large 5 horse commercial leaf blower, high velocity fans, and furnace blowers. The biggest problem I could come up with was how to evenly distribute the air to maintain even channel of airflow. The first...

Greetings all... I have been doing a lot of research on a Stationary High Velocity Test Tank. I have found a pump to move just over 400 gallons of water per minute. The tank I want to build is 8 feet long and 20 inches wide. The ends will be rounded to remove the square corners. The speed will...

Its good to hear that more and more are coming in!!! I have visited a few of the members web sites- , but I havent seen any links to this site. My web page makes a suggestion to become a member and provides a link. I do not get the traffic that some of the other guys do, but I bet if the link...

I am looking for old broken motors. All That needs to be there is the case with the sleeve pin still there, the sleeve itself and the head. carbs,cranks,pistons, etc need not be included. it would be good if the screws were still there, but as long as the parts are all still as a set, that will...

hay hay hay :D whats all the fuss..... if jerry can make a TT scream like a rossi, than there is no reason I can't get a ts2 over 60 ;)

Thanks for the tip! My goal is for the ts2 to hit 65. I am still learning right now, but I hope that some of the innovative processes I have developed, that incorparating the known modifications with the unknown may provide something spectacular. I am learning about cupping a cutting now, with...

I was hoping to find someone who is a dealer and can sell me some props for near wholesale. The props are for testing only and will not be resold for profit. ........trying to systematicaly determine best surface condition, blade profile, LE and TE forms, and thinning results. Thanks, Steve

Mark, You are correct. The tested props were x440's. The Prop I matted was a 215. <_< <_< Here I thought I did something spectacular :D My appologies for blowing smoke up your pipe :rolleyes: When I listen you guys talk about all this technical prop stuff I feel like a kid watching...

Andy, thanks for the advise, so let me get this straight.... I need to bend the concave side in more. (adding more to the curvature of the blade) this should be done at approximatley 2/3 (66%) or 70% as mark mentioned, from the hub. So 1/3 of the blade should be bent inward (to increase the...

SORRY!!!!!! PICS TOO BIG! didnt mean to waste so much space...... :unsure:

I have made a die to cup props.(I hope) I was looking for a tip or 2 on weather or not I am on the right track. the bend is 1/8" deep from the exit edge and has an even transition to the original blade form. the bend starts at 2/3 from the hub and the tip is about 6.5 degrees. If I am WAY off...

I appreciate your politeness, however, I feel the title is appropriate. The situation (preventable or not) inspired my request for finding out IF using a failsafe device would have accomplished anything in a racing environment. As I have mentioned I do not know about racing or the rules involved...

This sounds like a interesting idea. a simple,cost effective, solution to many different possible situations that could occur.
