Hey Gang

I have decided to instead of just talking about gasolines, to run some tests. I will need your input on exactly what I will need to do it. It will be a few weeks before I can run the tests. I have a newRCGF 26 that Bowman rings are on the way for. (Voided warranty). What I want to do is try these gasolines, pump, 100LL Av gas and 110 racing fuel. I was going to try Coleman gas but I read on the BPRCGF26 site that to use it, you need octane booster. I need these questions answered as this is my first rc airplane gasoline engine to fly.

What size prop should I use to put enough load on the engine to adequatly test the torque or RPMs?

Any suggestions on a thermometer to properly test the running temp would be helpful.

Any suggestions on any other type of test that should be done for performance would be helpful.

I will also make comments on the ease ofstart up during these tests

The reason I am doing this is there are some rc pilots who do need optimum performance from thier planes and, it just sounds like fun. As I said it willbe a few weeks before Ican do it. I am still waiting on parts for my plane and I need to breakin the engine for equal performance on each gasoline.
