"You are completely focused on RPM as the
single factor producing rotational velocity"
-Dude Henrickles

.........whereas the high rpm governor limit, impossible to eliminate
from
the equation for the purpose of establishing seizure momentum as power is
reduced , (and thus affecting the rpm) is the other factor. :-)


Ok...I'll work with you a little here...(and only if you refrain
from obfuscation).

Your above statement isn't valid because it's the RPM only which
is relevant to the momentum of a prop (besides the mass which
isn't variable in this case)

What caused the RPM is completely immaterial.

You say 'It's the other factor' but it is not. There's only one
parameter that determines momentum (besides mass) and that's RPM.

Ok, and I'd like to work with you a bit also if I can. I kind of miss the
old days when the two of us were talking to each other.

You are absolutely right in everything you are saying here as well as what
you said back in the seizure thread. I never doubted your knowledge and
experience with these things for a moment. I believe the problem involved
both of us misunderstanding the other. I had assumed the limiter would
reduce the rpm when the power was reduced back to idle in prep for the bail
out. I should have mentioned that in my dialog with the poster I was dealing
with when you entered the thread, but I didn't. You no doubt thought, from
the way I posted my remarks that I was under the impression that it was
power that controlled the seizure momentum. When you posted without
mentioning the limiter, I grossly over reacted to the inference that I didn'
t know what I was talking about. I shouldn't have done that and I apologize.
You on the other hand, could have asked me to clarify whether or not I was
dealing with the issue without the limiter in question. You didn't. The rest
went downhill in a handbasket. I answered several of your posts thinking you
knew about the rpm change with the limiter involved and were lecturing me
anyway, which of course would have been wrong. By the time I realized we
were talking about different things, it was too late.
Gordo, I am sincerely sorry for my part in this misunderstanding.
I don't believe either one of us, after spending all our lives involved with
airplanes and engines, is ignorant of the simple fact that it's rpm that
determines rotational velocity. Let's put this thing to bed and forget it if
possible. To be honest with you, I hate all this unnecessary crap going back
and forth between two people who should be friends.
Sincerely,
Dudley

Ok, that's fine...let's let it rest till after
Christmas...apologies to all for monopolizing the 'frequency'.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.
