[Unified-mailman] blade angle calculation

[Charles P Coleman]

Denny-
Just to be clear, from knowledge of the pitch and diameter you can calculate
the blade angle (aka beta angle) using the relations given in the middle
column on page 100 of the Sailplane and Electric Modeler article, "Prop
Design from the Hub Out". I hope this helps!
Charles

Professor Coleman...
How can we measure the propeller blade angle of the propellers we have...or
do you guys have data for the blade angles of the different props...or do
we need to measure the blade angle ourselves?
