Cool,

you are still testing this engine

you don't flip start it by hand do you?


open exhaust?

you took the muffler off?

that was only good for 500 rpm?

Was it LOUD???

you did not try the wood 12 X 5 prop that came with the engine?

I plan to remove the carb and replace with a .65 spray bar and needle valve in the carb mounting holes

using a stretch tubing type bladder

for control line

Red line for this engine is 12,500 rpm from the spec sheet I sourced on line.

I would like to prop it to get 12,000 in the air

not sure about running a muffler

I don't have to

and lighter is better

but how loud are we talking here?


Thanks

Buzz
