GREETINGS MARK, I NOTICED YOUR RPM NUMBERS ARE IN THE 10,000 RANGE. I HAVE RUN MINE ON THE BENCH A FEW TIMES WHILE I FINISH MY PLANE. LAST WEEK I GOT 10,150 WITH A RICH SETTING USING AN APC16X6 ON 30% MAGNUM. I EXPECT 10,300 ONCE IT IS BROKEN IN. I THINK THIS IS TOO MUCH RPM FOR THIS ENGINE. TALKING TO DAVE OVER AT YS (USA) HE SAID THAT THIS IS TURNING TOO FAST FOR THE GOOD OF THE ENGINE. THE POWER BAND IS BEST IN THE LOW 9000'S. I AM GOING TO TRY A 17X6 WHICH SHOULD GET IT DOWN TO 9,000 AND WILL PROBALLY BE BETTER FOR 3D FLYING. I COULD HAVE FLOWN TODAY BUT TOO WINDY IN GA. HOPEFULLY IT WILL STTLE DOWN IN A FEW DAYS. LOOK FORWARD TO FLYING IT.

WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE THOUGHTS OF OTHERS ON THIS ISSUE.
