RE: 60lx high performance help.
Ok, here is what i have done.
installed 60-90 size deflector with advised set up.
broke off 4 times in 5 minutes.
Repeated 3 more times.
NO LUCK. (even dremeled the lip on the pipes exit to give something more to "grab on to)(made lip bigger)
Then,
Removed engine from plane and installed on test stand.
Attempted to break engine in
Within 2 min of running 18k on a 9x6, the pipe bolts broke off and have studs stuck in pipe.
This setup is not working out. Something is wrong.
Motor starts right up, powers up well and runs on the rich side at WOT (18k) In or out of the plane. When the motor is in the plane, it blows the diverter/deflector setup off EVERY TIME. Out of the plane, it has now broken off the pipe and i am att my whits end with this thing. I have enlisted the help of one aero engineer and one mechanical engineer who have been building/flying 20+ years.
PLEASE HELP. I am ready to use this as a boat anchor and cut my losses.
Please note, Prop is a 9x6 APC balanced, the pipe in or out of the plane is not "mounted" or restricted in any way.
