Max static rpm on the 20B with 72 x 104" 3 blade prop is ~ 6000 rpm.  I think the peak rpm on the day of the video was 5970.  The sound of the engine, prop and windblast in the cockpit (canopy not on) is unbearable without the hearing protectors I was wearing.  Ordering a HushPower II muffler for it this week.  No muffler was installed during the video.

 

Thanks for posting the video Bob.

George,
Tracy would be the one to ask that.  All I know is that it was screaming.
