Those are the best numbers I have seen with anyone with a Renesis so
far. In fact, I have not heard of numbers that good on any 13B. Don
is getting over 200 MPH with a cruise prop and climbing at over 1400 fpm with
it. The only way he is going to do better is either with an electric CS
prop and/or turbo. If he shaves the prop off to say, 74”, he will
get a couple hundred more rpm, but will probably lose in total thrust. Diameter
is a big determiner in thrust.
I would like more pictures of Dons intake and exhaust!

When I read your stats in your first paragraph, the first thought that
comes
to mind is that there is too much prop.
Ditto.
