REFLECTOR: Pitch Angle During Climb

[Hiroo Umeno]

I don't know if this helps at all but here are my numbers.  My plane is an SUV with Franklin + IVO combo.

1540 DA, 2650rpm, 24.6MAP, 104Kts IAS, 1500fpm, nose up 7 degrees.
2400 DA, 2700rpm, 25.6MAP, 97Kts IAS,  2000fpm, nose up 8.5 degrees.

Now, the deck angle will vary based on the CG and the weight so this is just one data point based on me flying solo with 40 Gal onboard (30lb ballast in the nose as well).

Joe;

I'll be surprised to see someone posting numbers to answer that oneJ

Just as one rough data point, try about 1500 fpm climb at 120 kts.  I'll  let you do the math.

I am working on my cooling system (water cooled rotary.)  Can anyone tell me what their pitch angles are for:

Vx
Vy
Cruise Climb

I am building a 173 RG, so that data would likely be the best, but I would appreciate any model info.

Thanks,
Joe
