I didn't get the massage in time, it will have to be on another time, I was at WDA today flying the Gee Bee, I flew it with a fuel ratio of 30:1, got three good flights specially the last two ( full throttle, vertical climbs ) the guys at the field love to see this Gee Bee Y fly around.

One interesting thing happened, when I run the BME before with a 50:1 oil ratio, it was doing 5K rpms at the top end then today I run it for the first time with an oil ratio of 30:1 and it was doing 7300 rpms at the top.

The question is, how come the change of rpms? and is this possible?
