Hi All,
A few pictures from the LMA air show at East Kirkby. Interesting weekend – Model air show, Lancaster taxy runs, full size civvie aircraft coming and going – so really a something for everyone weekdend.
I wonder how many of you can name this one, with out looking it up?
TTFN,
Neil

The engine probably wouldn’t be able to give full power running a scale diameter prop, it may even stall if the prop is too big. The engine maker will specify the correct prop to use. Some flyers will swap the flying prop for a more realistic one for display on the ground.
Ah, the Reynolds factor… the correlation between airfoil shapes, air airdensity, airflow and speed. thats why scaling down the airfoil shape (in this case propellor shape and size does not work 🙂

Nice shots.

Great pics Neil; the Jug and Emil are seriously convincing:
For a second thought I was looking at the Duxford Jug, and thought ‘did they do a lousy paintjob or put on fake weathering?’ 🙂
Still always wondered why LSM’s consistently have too short props for scale; that is in some cases the only give away? Ground clearance issues on grass?
