I should clarify this; I consider boost pressure to be more than full power,
as this airframe really isn't designed for this. (this was an issue for the
inspector as well but that's another story) I really only want boost at
altitude, although I of course had to test it:-). For my purposes 30"MAP (or
0psi boost as gauge reads) is full power and I've run it at this for up to a
minute combined with taxiing at other various power settings and never seen
any problems. I really wish I could give more info than this, but I hope
this is an indication of how well it will work in the air, without being too
draggy.
