• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

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
