=46rom the ROTAX Maint Manual:
"Calculate friction torque (Nm) by multiplying the force (N) obtained on
the spring scale by the distance the scale is attached from the center
of the propeller (L).
The friction torque must be between 30 Nm and max. 60 Nm (22 to 44.3
ft.lb). See calculation example."
Where have you got the 13.2 from?
