What is the actual HP at 3400 RPM (prop)? Will it turn out to be 40HP and 145 lbs in weight??...or 3.6 lbs/HP. Will 40HP satisfy you in a KR1? ------------------------------------
This has always been my question when using car engines in aircraft. Take my VW type 4. It has a gear reduction and the engine RPM reaches 4000 = 100 HP If you check the Corvair link http://carnut.com/specs/gen/vair60.html It states the RPM required to reach 110 HP or more is 4000 to 4500. The corvair is of course 6 cylinder, but till only 110 hp or so depending on which engine you are using, so if you guys are less than that , how do you know what the HP is? http://carnut.com/specs/gen/vair60.html Phil Matheson SAAA Ch 37 http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/ _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
