Haa Haa, I don't get excited about much but these engines are indeed impressive. The motor in Pete's vid is slinging that 34x12 prop pretty darn good. Pete can you get us a weight on your 34x12 prop. The thrust numbers seem a bit optimistic but maybe these little engines have enough torque to make it happen.
I'd love to throw a 34x10 P-tip on there and see what numbers pop up. I'm thinking it would be better to utilize a lighter-less pitch prop that lets the engine turn up a bit more revs (if it could take it). If that 6.5 engine could turn a 34x10 P-tip at 4800+ I would get really excited.
I have a 34x12 wood prop that looks like Petes and it's really heavy 1lb 13oz. The carbon 34x10 P-tip in comparison weighs in at 1lb 2oz. The light Clark at only 13oz and Bi-props at 1lb 3oz (together).
