Default RE: YS-170CDI Flight Report

Sorry Serious Power, I think maybe we have missed each other's point. I have enjoyed following you calculations so far and was hoping for more. Egghead was not meant as an insult, just the opposite!

My experience with nitro mirrors your figures. I thought Charley may have been disappointed with his nitro results and I was hoping to keep us all on the same page by reminding that the relationship between power and rpm is not linear. Rather than attempt a clumsy explanation I brought up a graph. Picture=1000 words. My 10% figure was only an round number to point out the difference between a 10% power increase and a 10% rpm increase. It was not meant as a comparison to any results noted so far.

As has been pointed out, nitro provides benefits beyond increased power.
