Hi Guys
For those who have tested and flying their machines.
I’m finally about to ground(stationary) test our Renesis 4 port powered Glassier Super IIRG
EC2, EM3, RD1-C Electrical Pitch Prop.

Your wisdom, experiences, testing procedures to carry out would be very much appreciated.

Particularly whats reasonable to expect from my cooling system (modelled of Tracy’s RV8)?
Now I’m sure it depends upon load and OAT, but what where your experiences?
How long could you guys run before overheating etc?
Did you provide any supplemental cooling to extend this testing?
I’m thinking of putting a water mist jet into the cooling duct/s to see if it significantly increases cooling and time testing.

Appreciate you feedback.

Sincerely

Steve Izett
