Fred Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Can anyone tell me the actual blades angles of a propeller set "on the cuff" in preparation for a windmill taxi start the USAF airlift C-130E/H method? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPTestFE Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 No, he wants to know where the cuff puts the blade angle. I don't know off-hand, and it's not in the Lockheed training manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc johnson Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Borrowing this from Alan Baker's site. Looks like cuffed angle = cruise angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPTestFE Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I would have guessed around 60 degrees looking at the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRlang Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think we answered Fred's question. Looks like 50 degrees based on the chart above. Now position the aircraft and start the check list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc johnson Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Getting into position. They needed to bring in an A to start another A. Song Be, Dec. '69 (find the Christmas Tree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
