Default RE: ESM Customized P51 Mustang



Hearing crickets in this thread. I would like to hear more on the ESMP51. I have decided on power options and the engines came in finally to start testing on thrust with various props for which combo to use.

I have a YS 175CDI (seriously considering to put in this airframe) which in its own right will turn the19-8 at 8500 rpm +/-... Going to test a 18x10 and the 18x6-10 from zinger (all 4 blade). I also have a 1.75 belt reduction it will mount to that will give me aprox 5000 rpm to crank the pitch way up and increase efficiency (Ihope). The DLE55 is another I'm looking at since so much nose wieght it needed.

furtunately the reduction unit will accept 2 ys 1.70 or 1.75's side by side which I am going to test to see what it yeilds. just for fun. (not for the EMSmustang - wont fit.) thats a LOTof power!!!
