unloading
Do you think your engine "unloads" in the air and turns more rpm's? My nelson does not, at least yet to do so. Your 16,700 with a 10 pitch is only 150 mph. Thats why you only go 150 mph. The nelson does 23,000 on the ground, with 8 pitch. I am going to increase pitch and cut prop until i max out. If this thing "unloads" in the air watch out. If other people claim to get 27,000 in the air there is no reason a qm40 nelson wont. I didnt think anyone was going as fast as they thought. I think i was the first to question it here but now im not convinced i was right. My 163 mph on third run of engine has me thinking i can make at least 190.
