stevejet66 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi, Here is a run up of my new project, As some of you have asked for a engine run up, There is a couple of taxi runs up and down the garden. Only the wings to build. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for your interest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=camJuKPV4GI Edited By steve mildoon 1 on 16/06/2013 18:58:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Elliot Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Looking good Steve....how much of the available power was that using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevejet66 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi rich, There is about another 35 percent of power to use. From past checks with the manometer At 0.7 bar it reaches a maximum of 105,000 rpm, prior to the test run bar pressure was at 0.5 around 75,000rpm. so in theory its using about three quarters of its power. Just a guess after all the testing. but looks like its got some power to make the take off given a short run. The mrs wasnt pleased about the wilted plant's on the flower bed from the jet exhaust. Thanks for asking, appreciate your interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I bet your neighbour's busting a gut wondering what sort of lawnmower you've treated yourself to, Steve! ..... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevejet66 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Lol pete. Well at least i can dry the lawn before i cut it! The heat of that thing is something else, You can feel it 30 feet away or so. Not good for plants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
