[PCW] Sno' Dog performance

[HClews@aol.com]

Mac,
 
I too, found your table interesting.   Seems to me, this ratio gives an 
indication of how much the propeller is  "slipping".  In other words, if there were 
a direct coupling, as in a car  for example, this ratio would remain constant 
(at least in a given gear).   The fact that it varies shows the amount of 
slippage which, I assume, is an  indication of "how hard the prop is working".  
Not very  scientific, but seems intuitively correct to me.

Hi,  Bob.

I have no idea as to why the performance of Henry Clew's
PDQ 34  seems to be so linear.  I am just mathematically
inclined and I  noticed an apparent linearity.  I just used a
calculator to check out  the extent of linearity and decided
to share it with the group.

I  would say that the linearity indicates a happy marriage
of design elements,  whether intentional or accidental.

In any event, I would say that the  linearity in 'Sno Dog's
performance is highly desirable.
