Measuring prop pitch with an iPhone
in General Tech Discussion
7 years ago
After reading several threads about really nailing prop pitch I decided to move beyond the Sensensich pitch pins for my 3-blade ground adjustable. But how does one reproducibly and reliably fasten the iPhone to the prop? I tried simply using large rubber bands with the iPhone in its rubber case, affixing the uncased phone to the back of a blade with double stick tape, and just holding it in place. The back side of the blade appears to be curved slightly at every point along its radius so that the phone wobbles. Then there is the problem of reproducibility between blades.
Has someone come up with a solution? I was thinking of purchasing a vacuum mount for the iphone and using it to secure the phone to the blades. I've seen simple brackets but lack access to a shop to fabricate one.
