Biff, you are a sick man. Trying to get that sound, but still breaking in. Just was wondering about numbers.

900 sounds a bit slow. . better turn it up to about 1250 or so. . . .

Better yet, reset the tach to TWO blade instead of 3-blade. . might give you a more accurate reading at idle. . . . .

Hi Guys,

3W 150 TOC, engine has 40 flights on it, HP2 Syn 50/1, 93 Octane, Mezjlick 28.5x12 3 blade, 5340 rpms, standard mufflers. This is a new engine converted to the 3W 6.0V ignition by A.I., as noted in other posts with the single-cylinder running problems. First flilght of the day was 5200 with obvious richness in flight. I leaned slightly for the next flight which produced the 5340 reading. I leaned again after that flight but did not tach, in flight power was improved though. I loved the way the 3B flew and is my new prop of choice. Still has plenty of horizontal speed, awesome vertical still achieved, but the throttle control and breaking allows for either both "constant-speed" type of flying or fast for wind. Loved it! Installed on my Dalton Aviation 42% 260. (engine was broken in with 6 gallons of Lawn-boy at 50/1, however, I was thinkng to run another 3 gallons of Lawn-boy through it on the advice of A.I., which would equate to more than 8 hrs of run time on the L.B.).

UPDATE: Same setup 10/15/06 turned 5600 rpms on the 28.5x12 3 blade.

Thanks,
Jim W.
