Prop to High RPM on downwind

"Mitty" wrote

In the Six, which has a three-blade prop, I have to carry more power of
course.
Next time I fly it, I am going to listen more carefully while flattening
the
prop on downwind and see if there is much noise effect.


You, as a pilot, are in a bad place to observe prop noise, since 98% of the
extra noise comes off the prop, at high RPM, only in the plane of the prop,
or another way of saying it, is, right off the ends of the tips.

But you already knew that, didn't you? g
