[FlyRotary] Re: Coot
   Empty weight is 1800 lbs, I lift off water up to 2800 lbs and off land at 3200 lbs.
 Static rpm is 6200 without NOS and at rotation it turning 6800 rpm which I would guess is about 180 hp, I have 100 hp nitrous jets in it and it turns about 7200 rpm when I hit the nitrous button so I am guessing at about 300 hp when on nitrous.

Hi! Ken
What does your Coot weigh? What Hp do you think your 13b is putting out?

  Not a question of distance as it wont takeoff without NOS with two people,  solo and light on fuel I can get it on the step but its a long struggle,  I normally only use the nitrous for about a 3 second burst to get it on the step and then it will get up and fly on its own but if its rough water or a tight spot will lean on it longer.
 I don't know where data on the silicone fluid but its known that it wont hurt anything,  you can wax your car with it if you want.

     I use dot 5 silicone auto fluid and it works fine as it is compatible with any system and I like it as it wont eat up my fiberglass hull in the event of a leek.
