OK I stand corrected on the tip speed reaching 835mph at 2600rpm. But that puts me in a quandary as to why all the arguments I had with others about the prop tip NOT reaching the speed of sound all those many years ago should be changed.

So a small request - show us the math you used to get to your result - please, if only to put me out of my misery!

PS. I'm very envious of your recent ride - last time I stepped out of a Harvard was in 1953.
I'm also struck by the similarity of the fuselage number to the numbering used at 5 FTS back in the early 1950's (see my photo above).
