There then came the problem of accelerating it sufficiently to do the stall margin test. For those that are unfamiliar with the Gnome, sorry, too difficult to explain.
Fareastdriver, Don't tantalize all of us non-Gnome Techies! Try and explain what a run down is and what your tests involved, please. Also, how much over gross were you with the 26 Ghurkas on board? Following on from some of the comments on this thread, what was the reason for the cranked tail-boom on the later Whirlwinds? I cannot find an answer on the web. Sorry for the run-on style. For some reason, I cannot get 'returns' to show up.
