RE: 3W-50I
All,
Temp - 101
Wind 5-10 SSE
Humidty - 31%
Shell Premium - 98 octane
Oil - Penzoil Aircooled 32:1 Pertroleum based
5th run NIB
Prop - 3W-22x10 5400
Mtr temp - 190 + F
Not a very good set up quickly landed
Mtr was hot, too hot over 190 F.
6th run from NIB
Prop Forte 22x10 - 6000
mtr temp - 154 F
This set up is ok, on the verge of spirited performance. I am still very rich on the needles.
Motor drinks fuel like its coolaid.
7th run from NIB
Prop Zinger Pro 20x10 7400
Mtr temp - 184 F
Very good performance pulled unlimited vertical
good downline braking overall performance very good
This set up is loud, Had less than an ounce of fuel left when landing out of 22oz tank (650 cc)
flew for about 11 minutes including second range test that took less than 3 minutes as 1/3 throttle.
So far I am please with my 3W-50I, this motor pulls my 85" QQ Yak 54 very well and it will 3D once I get
the right propeller and needle settings. Right now the motor starts easy and runs nice and does not get hot.
Also I have yet to run a gallon of fuel thru the motor so it can only get better.
Till next time
JDS
