Jetcat SPT5 Turboprop - maximum RPM's
I'm ready to do the maiden of my turboprop Marchetti equipped with a Jetcat SPT5 and I was wondering if you guys have changed the preset values of the turbine.
While exchanging some info with Bevar, he told me that he limits his propeller speed to a max of 7750 rpm in order to protect the reduction gears. Is anybody else doing these ?
Maximum rpm's set at the factory are around 8250 rpm so I'm wondering if with this reduction you are loosing a lot of performance.
My main turbine maximum rpm's are set at 165.000 rpm's.
