Default RE: DL-50 engine

I agree completely. Some folks get caught up in the whole "mine turns 10,000 rpm with a 37x16 prop" blah blah blah.

Thrust is where it's at.

I'm just posting my numbers to show how they can increase as the engine breaks in. I thought because my JXF would only turn 6900 that my engine was not as good as others. But now I'm the one with the RPM's to die for

I could not get 7900 today but I think it's close enough to verify it DID turn 7900 last night, no bull.

The one pic is of the tach under the lights here at work to verify it's reading right.

Once I make sure the 22x10 JXF is balance I will try it on there.
