Nice app. I use my own formula but this is faster! BTW for you gearheads, This is formula: Gear Ratio in fractions (i.e. 1.75/1=.571) x RPM x prop pitch in inches. This gives you inches per minute. Then..you divide by 12 giving you feet per minute. divide again by 5280 (feet in a mile) to give you miles per minute then x 60 to give you MPH. This is MATHEMATICALLY, but impossible to achieve because you have to account for slippage. Example: .571 x 5800=3311.8. 3311.8 x 25= 82,795. 82795/12= 6899.58. 6899.58/5280= 1.3. 1.3 x 60= 78MPH. So if somebody says they are doing 80 with a 225 Optimax stock, gearcase and a 25" prop, IT IS BS!!! Hope this helps!
