Hey t6racer,

I ran my K-60tp spinning the Fiala 24x17 three-blade prop yesterday. At roughly 75% throttle (147000 rpms shown on the ecu data terminal), the prop was spinning at roughly 5100 rpms. Though the max rpms for the Kingtech K-60tp is 160000, I think I will need to set the max rpms for the engine at 147000 to keep the prop at roughly 5000 rpms on the ground. This seems to be a powerful little engine and should spin a 24x20 three-blade prop easily. Looking forward to seeing how well and how fast it will fly my plane.
