Hear are all five runs we did on 6-30-16
Note run 1 with the small prop 30% throttle 7,000 RPM at
25.6 inches of Hg!!!!
The small prop was about 68 inches in diameter with a 50
pitch.
About what you would get with a P-port normally aspirated
2 rotor. ROFL
We could probably could turn 9000 RPM with that prop at
WOT
When the RPM is over 5000 it was the small prop.
5000 below the big prop 84 inches dia. and 66 pitch.
I think we put the big prop on about run 3 or 4.
Obviously the waste gate control ( Aux3) was off on some
of the runs.
The weak spring in the waste gate was the only control I
suspect.
A really funny thing happened. Some of the people were
standing way in back of the airplane and off to
the side about 100 feet away expecting the engine to blow
in the piston engine hand grenade mode. ROFL
I was wondering why they were doing that at the time.They
know who they are:-)
The noise at 7000 RPM was a bit loud to say the least. The
video does not do it justice.
I wonder what they would do at a drag race when the rotary
turns 11,000 RPM? Still ROFL
