Default RE: Running without prop

Put a flywheel on it and start it on low throttle. Providing you do not over rev it you will have no problem BUT it will overheat if there is a significant amount fuel being used. approx 80% of fuel is turned into waste heat. Some sort of fan cooling would be needed for extended runs. 30 - 60 seconds no problem,

Millions of model car engines can not be wrong!
