RE: Heli engine for airplane use? Can I?
I have the thrust washer on the engine and the prop drive washer is on the way. Thanks for confirming that it will fit!
Can you expand and maybe refine your comment that this engine will use TWICE the fuel that an airplane 91 engine will? I dont see how thats possible. This engine is slated for the new Great Planes Revolver so it shouldnt see a lot of full throttle use.
When you say the Pitts will cause a loss of power, are you saying it will lose the typical power a Pitts muffler causes or are you saying it will lose MORE power because it's a heli engine?
For prop selection, I'm going to load it with the appropriate diameter with an 8 pitch to start. I don't want to fly this thing as fast as a pattern plane unless it proves necessary to draw clean lines.
