Tracy,

             Prop is a prince P tip,  70” dia by 90” pitch.   Any suggestions as to what numbers I can alter to convert US gal. to litres?  Somehow I have to get the readings up 3.75 to get litres.    Neil.

ONLY?   6300 is at the HIGH end of normal static.  I would be more concerned about over Reving at top speed if this were a 200+ MPH plane.   It will probably be about right for the glastar though.  

 

Be happy, celebrate!   BTW, what are the numbers on that prop?  L x P?

All,

       Looks like I am finally connected after many attempts..  I have a P ported renesis in a glastar that is ready to fly.  Tuning the motor yesterday to find that I cannot get the motor revs over 6300.  I suspected the prop (prince fixed) is too big, but am assured that that is normal as a static load.  Lonnie suggests that once moving the extra revs will appear.  How do I tune the motor for the top end revs?  Any advice?  Neil.
