<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are correct...that's why he listed the prop
he was using, though I'm surprised he used such a small prop
with a relatively large engine to get his numbers. It
definitely biases the equation. I can vary the output of the Webra
1.45 by over 1 horsepower using different props of those that are
appropriate for pattern. The horsepower we list for the Webra,
3.67, is a conservative rating. I've had it at 4.6 horsepower with
a given prop.</FONT></DIV>
