Dave:Marty, I wouldn't want to be argumentative (as if) but that looks like a very long pipe length to be testing at. I don't understand why you are testing at such a low rpm for a .21. I have on water rpm of just over 34,000 rpm plus and Mauro from CMB runs higher rpm than me although I've not tacho'ed his motor. If I tried to race at 26 to 28,000 rpm I'd be going backwards compared to others. Your dyno graph shows the motor completely without power over 32,000 and only .75 bhp at 30,000. Thats not normal. Dave
Good question.
Are you running a geared setup?
For our hydros, it seems that in order to run high pitched props with sufficient diameter to stay hooked up in rough water, it is necessary to run in the area presented.
I would like to be able to run 40K like the RC Car Guys are doing, but we must have requirements that make that unmanageable. I have never been able to get a HYDRO to work to my satisfaction in high rpm bands.
I would be very much interested in your thoughts on this.... By the way look at blow down time on this engine 29.5
