    Hi Rollerball You should not shut down a engine if you are going to crash land as if one of the blades are down it may tip your plane.Props bend easy when they are spinning. Cheers Rory

    Hi my J400 has never pulled more than 2700 revs static but will go to the red line flying even with the Jab prop I have a 3 blade revolution prop and it will rev higher on the ground but only if it is pitched "fine" I have set it so that the static revs are as per the Jab prop.All good with the engine.(Solid lifter). Cheers Rory

    HI Why not make your own it's not hard just drain your tanks and get a bit of wood 25/5mm or so and tape a bit of clear tube to the side make sure that the bottom of the tube is level with the bottom of the stick and the top is the same there add the first 10 lts dip and hold the stick in for a few seconds place your finger over the tube and pull out, fuel will be in the tube at the level it's in the tank mark the stick and repeat again at 5 or 10 ltr intervals .And now you have your dipstick it does not take long.

    Have you checked the Notams

    Hi Vev. 2 blades are more efficient Than 3 but as you get more power you need more blades to be able to use the power that is why all or most planes with lots of power have 3 or more blades ww2 fighters had 3 or more if the blade length could be increased you could get away with 2, the most efficient number is 1 but it's very hard to balance.
