Hello, this is a good video for lots of guys! Two small comments though: (1) your method assumes that both 2 and 3-bladed props must generate the same thrust in the end. (2) the dependency of the prop thrust on pitch is less than the power of one. From experimental data published in RC Groups, thrust changes with D^3.5 * P^0.5 as opposed to D^3 * P.
@StartingOutInRC9 ай бұрын
Hi, you make good points, and there is a huge amount of debate on the forums on the topic of PLF. Most RC pilots change diameter or pitch choice depending on how they want the plane to perform, so even after these calcs are done there is still room for manoeuvre. The debate continues...!

The fuel for these engines is called nitromethane. Imagine that 🤷🏼♂️
@stagesixx20 күн бұрын
@@piratelechuck1911 It is not nitromethane. Glow fuel consists of mostly methanol, some oil, and 5-30 % nitromethane( 5-20% is fine for most engines) The nitromethane aids combustion when combined with the rhodium element of the glow plug. Some glow engines will run with FAI fuel which is 0% nitromethane, and the 30% is primarily for helis and some cars. “Nitro” is just a buzzword that developed in the RC car community, and was derived probably from top fuel drag racing speak.

Really nice introduction to the basics of glow engines. I think a great service would be to shoot a video (or a series of them) for the person possibly interested in glow engines for model airplanes. My first question would be is every internal combustion engine used by a model plane a glow engine? Are there other types of fuel engines that model airplanes use? If a person had to keep their plane inside their house and not their garage would an internal combustion engine stink the place up? Are their different sizes of glow engines?

Good thing to catch before the maiden. Some suggestions to consider: 1. run a taught string to check the alignment a bit more accurately, just to be sure it isn't an illusion from the pushrod tube coming out of the fuseleage there. 2. Is the vertical stab. Warped? Or just set crooked. 3. Are you absolutely sure you can't fly it first to feel it out? That said, cutting a resetting is pretty low risk I suppose. 4. Have fun! Looks like you already are. :)
