Thrash,
No I haven't run that engine. Thank you for the link. It doesn't indicate what prop is used to generate the 28,500 rpms in the specs. If it is the prop that you would fly the plane with that would be pretty good. I would bet that it is a prop that allows the engine to hit max rpms. It also does not indicate where the power or "torque" range is on the engine which is a necessary spec to select the prop and rpm range.
Yes, that is correct... Aircraft size, weight, aerodynamics and type of flying will dictate engine size/power and prop thrust requirements. The Novarossi was just a suggestion as I have worked with the engines before(RC Planes, Cars, Boats) and find them to be VERY high quality pieces that run really well.. The Novarossi ( is more expensive and as I said already may not be suitable for Combat but may be worth a try if ya got the bucks.. Who knows, maybe it WOULD work??
Thrash, so, how many rounds of RC combat have you put on your NovaRossi engines in the last couple of years? How many do you have? and I don't think I know you from Nats or other big events, or am I mistaken?
None.. how many have you flown with the Novarossi??
Kirk: Take it easy there, I just made a suggestion about something out of the norm here and thought maybe it would stir a thought process? Yes, im a former CL Combat/speed guy, RC Nitro car guy, RC Pylon guy, RC Boat guy.. Also flown a bit of Scale RC Combat until most all combat died in my area... [&o] No SSC or Open here either.. Just saying that the NR may be worth trying?? Im sure you guys are very experienced and if im right, pretty competitive?? Maybe trying something new to gain an edge would be worth a try to someone willing to part with the money??
