What are Treger and Schramm doing that makes their models perform so well
in Belgrade? They're the only two people that are flying in the 37 to 39
minute range with everyone else in the 33 to 35 minute range. They fly
very different models, but I have to believe they've both figured out
something that everyone else has not. After this year's champs it seems
that thermals have been pretty well eliminated as the primary candidate.
I think one place to start is the propeller. On the plan for Treger's 2010
model he specifies a unique pitch distribution. The main section of his
blades are 26" and the tips drop down to 20.5". Is this allowing his prop
tips to be more efficient in high pitch? Perhaps this enables him to leave
the prop in high pitch longer which drops his average RPM? Anyone else
have thoughts on this subject?
