La-7 propeller
« on: July 10, 2012, 05:00:58 PM »
I know it had a VisH-105-V4 propeller, but does anyone know length and pitch?

Be curious if anyone had any information on the la7, one of the toughest planes to get info on.

Pitch? Do you mean range of pitch?

I know you can drive a tank through one without damaging it or the forward fuselage.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Yes, but not really. Main thing was diameter. Pitch I am interested in is 10 :)

Wow, thats longer than a P-51.
