Default RE: Verbitsky's geared engine

I think F1C is down to either 4 or 5 seconds engine run these days. What kind of HP, more or less, does it take to drive that size prop at 8,000 RPM? There was a letter to the editor in Aeromodeller which showed that the downhill changes in engine run in F1C have fairly closely tracked increases in engine power.
