Title: La-7 propeller
Post by: perdue3 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.

I know you can drive a tank through one without damaging it or the forward fuselage.

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

Wow, thats longer than a P-51.
