7 Normal Procedures<br />

7.14 Constant Speed Propeller (Not for LSA certified in USA)<br />

If your REMOS GX is equipped with a constant speed propeller the<br />

rate of climb increases and a lower fuel consumption in cruise flight<br />

is realized. According to Rotax maintenance handbook it is<br />

permissible to operating the engine between full power and propeller<br />

curve without restrictions. The operation above 5.500 rpm is limited<br />

on 5 minutes. The maximum permissible engine speed is 5.800 rpm.<br />

For economic reasons the following combination of manifold<br />

pressure and engine speed is recommended.<br />

Power Setting<br />

Engine Speed<br />

[ rpm ]<br />

Manifold Pressure<br />

[ in Hg ]<br />

Take off 5.800 full throttle<br />

max. cont. power 5.500 full throttle<br />

75% 5.000 26<br />

65% 4.800 26<br />

55% 4.300 24<br />

The propeller is electrically adjusted and needs a few seconds to<br />

<strong>ch</strong>ange the total pit<strong>ch</strong> range. Changes in power setting should be<br />

performed slowly to avoid overspeeding.<br />
