3W-75US (side carb)
i've got about 7 gallons through her so far, swinging a 3W 24x10 prop with 50:1 synthetic oil. pretty constant 6300 from day to day. what ar eyou guys getting??
any chances for turning a 26x10, or anything to give a little more thrust?? the engine is running well, but the plane doesn't want to pull vertical. but she's a rocket if i use full throttle horizontally. i tried a 3W 26x10, but it bogged the engine.
thanks
tony

Good Day Tony..
I just aquired a 3w75ius.. The story is this engine has about 10 gallons through it.. plus or minus? I am turning a 25 X 10 JXF (very similar to an NX) @ a solid 6300 Rpm on the ground. I wish I had some video of my son flying it.. (Hovering a 27.5 lb AW Edge 540 right on/near the deck) I am very happy with the performance of this motor. I was testing it in the AW edge. It will wind up in a Lanier 30% @ 22.5 lbs.. Should be really good in that one.
All the best. if your engine is still new it may just take some additional run time.
