Big draggy airplanes want big, slow-turning props, and apparently half the HP is OK if it's being pushed into a big prop. That's the basic formula all WWI era aircraft used. All the pics of them show these monster props with very little ground clearance. Since they didn't fly very fast, it didn't matter that the props were slow spinners. Corky Scott |
