I bought one of the little Van's prop pitch gadgets long ago but cant remember if there were any instuctions such as where to hang it on the blade for most accurate results. Anybody have that info?
John;
Sensenich offers a far superior pitch measurement tool. Link below takes you to the tool. I fiddled with the Vans tool, but I got this when I sent my prop in for refinishing. Very happy with the results. Not sure of cost, mine was free after they repaired my prop.
Correct
The wood one comes in the box with the prop but is a pain to use and get accurate results easily because there is now easy way to attach a dig level to it so you need to hold the level against the tool while trying to rotate the blade.
Not easy to do.....
I have the Sensenich 2A0R5 Revision E with the hub and Pitch Setting Gage. During my first two years of flying (for both me and my 12) I have used the power setting. Last evening at ~5200 cruise was ~105 knots. Interested to know what setting others use. (DA was ~3500'.)
