First, perfectly straight on the shaft, the QuikSpin spins about equal to or slightly greater than a 5 inch helical feather wrapped at a 3 to 4 degree helical.
At about 1 degree offset (or 1/16th inch over the 4 inch vane length) the QuikSpin will approach 3000 rpm or about twice as fast as a 5 inch helical feather.
Cary,
I'm wondering at what distances that data was obtained at? Or is that a set-velocity wind tunnel environment?
I'm curious as whether or not the spin acceleration is greater on these new vanes compared to feathers. In that I mean that after 20yds from launch, are these new vanes ALREADY spinning faster than feathers, or does it take some more time and distance for these new vanes to come up to spin-speed and surpass that of helical feathers?
thanks for the input on the forum!!
