deothoric:

The 16x12 @ 5500 works out to 62mph and just shy of 6 lbs static thrust. Very good numbers for the Camel. Let us know how the break in goes. Other posts lead me, just me personally, no slam intended, to believe that these engines are not worth the trouble it takes to make them run right, and are certainly more trouble than their high price would suggest is reasonable.
