Dan;
There are 4 good ways.
1, Two men, two stopwatches, and a long measuring tape. (works ok).
2, Doppler method using an audio recording device of some type.
(works good when operated correctly)
3, GPS attached to the aircraft. Garmin Geko-201 works super and
it's safe and light.
4, Stalker sports radar gun. Its super but not as safe as the others
cause your looking down the nose of a 200 MPH plane to get accurate
speeds.
All methods have been talked about at length on this forum.....

your getting the right rpm which should give you the right speed, but which line do you use? i find the second one up is the right one.
100 sounds quick, but i know my 21 shrike could do that, a 15la however?? sommit sounds wrong

I also agree that 100 sounds way to quick for what the model is doing. I may try again tommorow to measure some sound. I put in the value of 10 in there like I read somewhere and that adds to the speed so maybe I shouldn't be putting that in the third column. I also think that the second curve from the bottom is the primary frequency because the engine rpms seem to be about what they should be, 16,000 rpm.
