    Please clarify, how do you use a 2m diameter propeller on a 2800 rpm engine?
    The circumferential velocity in SI system reaches 293 m/s.

    We mourn with you, colleagues. It is a great pity that I did not have time to ask this question....

    Not including the 2" prop extension. The pitch tool is set at 16 deg. and can be adjusted plus or minus
    7 deg.

    It will be awhile before I can do any testing

    Air Trikes re-brands the Luga under "Kool", and some refer to the luga as an "NR prop", presumably
    the initials of the inventor (Nick Roman)

    So:
    LUGA = KOOL = NR Prop.

    I bought the NR SR118 and mine shows 17 degrees. Is 17 degrees the the large longer middle line and then you can go plus or minus 1 degree at a time?

    Also 215 Inlb for prop to engine hub seams awful light torque.

    I would recommend calling saber bolts in Texas and changing out the bolts that came with the NR prop. Prop is great but the hardward I received was not aircraft grade bolts. I was told and torque to 180inch pounds, or 15ft lbs. Don't want to over torque as you are squeezing the prop.

    Exactly correct.
    The large middle line is the 17deg (in your case) (mine is 16 deg) and you can add or minus degrees from that setting.
