K140 G - need help detuning
Barry / Dirk hi
what max rpm should I set the 140G to giveme a max out put of aprox 10k( 20N ) thrust
also for reference , if you could advise setting for 22N and 24 N that would be great
thx Izzy

K-140 puts out 140 N or Newton, which is 14kg or kilogram, not sure about the units you were referring to. But if I am guessing correctly, try to start out at around 114,000 RPM, go from there, more importantly, fly with throttle management.

Thanks for reply Barry
what I was referring to is what max rpm should I set to give me approximately 20 pounds of thrust or 10 kilo thrust
currently max rpm is 123k which pushes out aprox 140n(14kg) aprox thrust
so can I assume you meant aprox 114k for 10 kg thrust ?
This engine is on a skymaster /extreme 2m vioer and is way too much power at max rpm
thx

izzy,
I ran a K140 and have some #'s you can go off of. I am at 1380' altitude and it was 28*C at time of testing. The K-140 I ran today was putting out 22LBS or 9.97KG @ 110,000 RPM and 25lbs or 11.33KG @ 111,500 RPM. If you adjust your turbine to the lower RPM, make sure you relearn RC and let the ECU start with the fresh settings.
Hope this helps,
Dirk
