In the 1970's and 1980's when I received the majority of my basic aviation knowledge it was a simpler time.
Bernoulli's theorem was not questioned at least not in my world and wings and propellers worked by "suck".
Super Cubs like Bic lighters were cheap and expendable IE, a hunter would pay more for a animal than a Super Cub was worth and therefor a Super Cub was considered a write off. They were used thusly.
I could set up a target in my back 40 and shoot to my hearts content. I no longer enjoy a back 40.
My dog died this past week. It was a poor death ill befitting him. I now take exception with God. And I want to kick his *. Further I look forward to the opportunity.
I wonder about redrives on Briggs an Stratton engines, are they really worth it? I mean why not smaller propeller diameter? A 48" (1.219 M) diameter propeller is good to around 4000 RPM and a 42" (1.067 M) propeller is good to around 4600 RPM so what is the need of a redrive it's complexity and weight and how does it justify a longer propeller?
Thank you.
