Brian Dorricott 1 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Has anyone got a figure for a DLE20cc on a Menz 17x8 wooden prop , I'm getting 7000rpm is this about right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I would say that’s about right (8000 on a 16x8) and at those revs the engine will last longer (they don’t have a strong bottom end!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Side exhaust or rear ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I get 8.800rpm on the ground on a master airscrew on my Dle 20ra and that gives me 11.800rpm in the air with a canister,,,😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) DLEs are renowned for being able to rev their nuts off and that’s exactly what they’ll do at high revs! Edited May 12, 2023 by Ron Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
