Awesome! Thank you. Did you see that now there's RC versions of Draco? Now we can all own our own mini Draco. I don't think those will have reverse thrust though...lol
My friend thought reverse thrust was where you spin the propellers the opposite direction. Thanks for making a video for me to show him, after I stoped laughing.
You are welcome Peppa Pig. Go easy on your friend. A lot of people think that. Some people think that jet engines stop and spin backwards to create reverse thrust too. Those people, as well as your friend, are not idiots, they are only making their best guess given the information they had. Take the time to teach your friend, don't make fun of him,well... maybe only a little...😜 Thanks for coming by Plane Simple.
Great info man! I like that you explain things in layman's terms so that everyone can understand. One thing that might help a lot with video quality would be to pick up a cheap gimbal to help eliminate some of the inevitable shakiness of using a small camera. Keep it up though, 'cause you've got a new sub!
Thank you very much Jazz! I really appreciate the positive feedback. I apologise for the shaky video, it's just my cellphone that I use as a camera. I just pull it out of my pocket and start recording whenever I get a chance so there's very little planning or setup (as you can tell...LOL). But yes, I have thought about one of those gimbal handles too, I'll look into it. Thanks again and welcome to Plane Simple.
@@planesimple8514 I also saw that you at least know about Mike Patey. I kind of wonder if maybe you guys could work together a bit as far as him doing to crazy over the top stuff that is entertaining and a bit educational and then maybe you going into a bit more detail on things like this.
@@Jazz3006 DUDE! That would be amazing! But in reality, this is too small of channel to enlist that kind of project from a giant like Mike Patey. I guess I could always do a related video of my own try to answer any questions that may come up from any of his videos. Although he's pretty thorough on his explanations. But back to your suggestion, yes, I would love to work with the Patey brothers!
Hey Laertes L, You hit the nail on the head! That's exactly the next topic. Well, not constant speed props overall because that's a pretty broad topic, but I'll concentrate on their counter weights. As always, thank you for watching the video and the positive comment.
Great video. I understand oil pressure or a physical plate pushes a piston which moves the plate etc. I guess I am looking for and what I am trying to learn is how the pitch governor controls the plate that pitches the blade. Not the cable going to the cockpit or the oil in the piston but what part of the mechanism actually pushes the plate forward and how does that connect to the props? I cant seem to understand how part of the pitch mechanism is mounted and doesn't spin compared to what does spin with the prop. The secret seems to be under the prop cover just where the governor linkage connects. Are there bearings some where spinning along? Anyway apologize for the worded question as I understand the principal but not the physical part even though you covered most of it very well. How or where does the plate actually push the linkage to pitch connected to the prop? Thank you....
Man, those are all great questions and I'd love to answer them. I have to wait till I go back to the shop where I recorded that video to show the governor taken apart. it will make it a lot easier to explain and better to understand when you can actually see what I'm talking about. I'll try to get over there soon. Thank you very much for watching and for the questions. sorry I took so long to reply.
It's actually oil pressure from engine, metered by the governer by the input from the cockpit, that control the pitch mechanism, located in propeller hub/dome. There's an oil passage inside the shaft, which will flow and push the pitching mechanism, which in turn will push the piston and the blades. There's a gearing at the propeller root that make it possible to turn the blades. This image for easy to understand what I meant:- images.app.goo.gl/a86gzFBoE1NVzMgx9 images.app.goo.gl/fPDQDkHLoNhjPum7A Hopefully this helps. Forgot to mention, they are many propeller design, what I describe is just a basic what you'll learn in aviation school.
E One, your explanation was right on the money, clear, concise, and 100% correct. You even added a picture for good measure! I could not ask for any better! Thank you so very much for joining this channel's conversation. This sort of environment is exactly what I'm hoping to build here. A place for exchanging and sharing knowledge so we all learn! Even if you already know, we can always pick up a little extra something from someone else. Again, thank you.
Hello annakquinn, what are you referring to as angle of attack? I equate the blade's angle of attack to the blade pitch. Imagine the blade as a wing, increasing the wings angle of attack increases lift, the same way increasing the propeller's pitch will increase thrust. Are referring to the angle of the propeller's plane if rotation in reference to the airframe?
The best explanation on TH-cam!
Oh wow! Thanks edgarssk. I really appreciate it.
I totally found this video looking for reverse thrust so I could understand the Draco move... awesome that you mentioned it as well.
Awesome! Thank you. Did you see that now there's RC versions of Draco? Now we can all own our own mini Draco. I don't think those will have reverse thrust though...lol
Same... I seen Horizon Hobby just released a RC model of Draco and it looks awesome.
@@planesimple8514 I did,I did indeed. :)
Correction... RC Draco does have reverse thrust! It has an electric motor so it just reverses direction of rotation.
Really exelent explanation. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Very good Visual experience explanation
Thank you Domnic.
Great video

nice vid sir
Thank you
Great video thank you for explaining i always wounded how it worked
My pleasure. I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you for watching it.
Thank you so much for this video.
You covered every question i had.

Thank you very much Dexter Thompson, I appreciate it.
Great video once more! I guess the next one is constant speed propellers?

@@planesimple8514 I am not very sure if that's good enough explanation 😅. I have left the field for too long.

If you can give as more data about ATA, AMM....what are they??....
Ok. That's an interesting topic. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do. Thanks again.
Nice
Thank you Delta Airlines lovers.
The angle of attack is embedded from factory, what a fixed pitch prop can’t change is the blade angle.
