7.14 Constant Speed Propeller
(Not for LSA certified in USA)
If your REMOS GX is equipped with a constant speed propeller the
rate of climb increases and a lower fuel consumption in cruise flight
is realized. According to Rotax maintenance handbook it is
permissible to operating the engine between full power and propeller
curve without restrictions. The operation above 5.500 rpm is limited
on 5 minutes. The maximum permissible engine speed is 5.800 rpm.
For economic reasons the following combination of manifold
pressure and engine speed is recommended.
Power Setting
Engine Speed
[ rpm ]
Manifold Pressure
[ in Hg ]
Take off 5.800 full throttle
max. cont. power 5.500 full throttle
75% 5.000 26
65% 4.800 26
55% 4.300 24
The propeller is electrically adjusted and needs a few seconds to
change the total pitch range. Changes in power setting should be
performed slowly to avoid overspeeding.
