Subject: [FlyRotary] first run #2
with clean fuel filters, plus an electric fuel
pump and regulator, it is sounding more like a real engine. sorry about
the diesel truck noise in the background.
the video doesn't relay how incredibly loud
this is, just about painful at the higher rpms. I got out my noise canceling
headset and turned it on for later runs. I'm going to have to remount
the prop to gain a bit of cooling. water temp hit 180° after 2 minutes
of several short runs. still want to confirm the tach is reading
correctly. this run showed idle around 800rpm and high point near
3400rpm. does that seem right? I need to test more, but the MSD
rev limiter "pills" seemed to limit at half their marked value, I.e. the 3000
at 1500.....the video shows it with the 7000rpm limit pill
installed. need to borrow a prop tach.
