huchanronaa Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have observed that if the rpm is lower, the mosquito is difficult to take off even if the throttle is increased. In some aircraft, the rpm and throttle are linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olddog Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 You might want to take a look at this. The principle applies to all consistent speed propellers https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/how-a-constant-speed-prop-works/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Mosquito uses constant speed props. Prop lever changes set rpm. But mechanism responsible for rpm need certain things to be present in order to take any effect, if plane sits on the ground idling moving rpm lever changes nothing. No matter boost used, prop lever always full forward for take off.

Hiob Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 You can think of the propeller pitch/rpm like the transmission in your car. For high power needs you want to be in low gear/high rpm. That's why you take-off and fight in low gear/high rpm and cruise in high gear/low rpm for more efficiency. And to stretch the analogy even further - you want to shift down/rpm up and then hit the throttle, not the other way round! 2 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
