At our 2-day Big Kids Toy Show fly-in last weekend, I had the pleasure of
flying a "CT" with their demo pilot.

If you're not sure what a "CT" is, see:

Jay,
Any idea why the Cruiser model includes a "Prop Clutch" ??? I'm picturing a
system where the engine can be started and run without turning the prop,
then engaging the prop clutch to spin the prop. What are the advantages
(other than being able to warm up the engine on the ground without spinning
the prop? Of course the disadvantage would be decreased useful load. (extra
clutch weight).

But maybe I just made a completely wrong assumption on how a prop clutch is
used.

John Severyn
