Default Propellors vs Rotors

BTW, a 700 rpm rotor is pretty small and may be really inefficient--even by
helicopter standards!


The Schweizer 300 (formerly Hughes 269C) has a rotor rpm power on of 442 to
471 rpm. Power off range is 390 to 504 rpm. Esceed these limits and you
are quite likely to break something.

The Schweizer has 190 hp and gross weight is 2050 lbs.
