The performance is about like a cessna 150 as far as speed and rate of climb. Fuel consumption is about three gallons per hour. It does 100mph at 2500 rpm at...

Yup, something fishy here. Need to keep people honest with their numbers. The prop acts like a screw but with 10-15% slippage (stripped threads). So one can...
The air speed is accurate and also the tac. I've checked them both. I use a gps receiver to show heading and ground speed. On cool days I've done about 105...

... I did a quick Google search for O-200 specs, and came up with different number across the board. Some had it at 125hp @ 3000 RPM, others had it as low as...
Hi Pat, I enjoy your input. Don't know if I completely agree with your formula as it relates to VW engines as it seems everyone that ever got a "High"HP VW...
* Anyway, what size engine is the Revmaster 3000 based on? * Loosely based on the VW in general, shares some parts. maybe lifters and tuff like that, but...
ok, thinking cap time! About the only thing limiting my speed at this point is a vibration that I have that comes on like clock work at just short of 3800 rpm....
Jim, Why are you pushing the RPMs so high? Mid to 4000 RPMs? By quick calculation, a 50" prop, 4000 RPM, equals about a 600 mph tip speed. Here's an...
If I'm ready to put some fuel in the carb and start testing my 2180cc VW engine, while on the ground but attached to my airframe, do I need a prop? Since this...

Craig - most VW engine conversions have a 5-6 pounnd flywheel or better which is usually cut down from a stock flywheel. The engine will run with this...
It somewhat puzzles me how folks can develop a new engine and come out finacially. Sales must be extremely low for Revmaster and now they are trying their...
Just to make sure that we have it straight, the O-200 is rated at 2750 rpm at 100 HP continuous; as listed in the factory manuals. Hal ... From: "Patrick...
The screw principal is much simpler to comprehend and calculate with the us of a fudge factor called SLIP. I assume that air behaves much as water does on...

I sure do wish success for Revmaster. The 3000 really sounds great. But all the 2+liter Revmasters that I have seen are FOR SALE and quite cheap. So...

Jacky Do you have a fly wheel? If not I think running without a prop could mess things up bad, at least I think thats what Veedubber said in AirVW or Fly5k ...
I do have a flywheel, but from all I've read I think I'll go ahead and order the prop, and wait to test the engine until after it arrives and has been bolted...
Jacky If I'm not mistaken Veedubber said you can bolt a 2x4 on and run it. If thing don't work out come see me in Jackson and I can loan you a prop. Steve ...
As so many have said before me, I would highly recommend against test running any engine without a prop. Even certified engine manufacturers use special test...
