Hey Troops;
Finally in the dyno room building the mount plate to
begin testing. Tracy says that the engine should be tested with the prop
on, and this is kind of hard in a dyno room. We are mounting the engine
without the PSRU, so that we don't tear it up in testing, and instead hooking
directly to the shaft which is loaded by means of a water brake. We can
put any load on it that we want, problem is, how to calculate that prop load in
foot-pounds, at different settings. Talked to Craig Cato, and he is
leaving for Europe, so doesn't have time to run the calcs, and I am just a dumb
high country nail-banger. Any thoughts?
