Headspeed with 800 or 810 blades and 230puh engine

[uluaz]

What is the recommended headspeed (normal and idle up) when running these large blades? Just trying to calculate the gear ratio needed in order to run 800-810 blades. 98i

On my Bergen Gasser, if I remember correctly we ran around 1350-1450 with 810 V-Blades. I was running a G260 PUH though.

Well first it would be good to know what machine.
For example Vario recommends not to run the bigger blades above 1300 on the BT's if I recall.
A call to the manufacture would be a good thing also. Get it from the horses mouth IMO. Especially if you are looking at gearing changes.

On my Vario Im running 1350 and it provides alot of stability and lift with the 421's from Vario,And they are really heavy.
