Re: The never ending engine thread, East-West
After a fals start, I found by myself that the ZDZ180 is an absolute unreal, wild and crazy monster! I bet in few more flights it will match the top end of the M220, but like Trevor said "at a fraction pf the weight".
After 14 flights and still on 32:1 mineral oil mix, it spins the 31x12 three blade Mueller at 6060rpm on the ground, and once in flights unloads few hundreds rpm more. Those are some reruous HP. I still have some idle shaking, but I have to say that it's set real low, and with some more running time and some fine tuning I can get most of the vibration out. Now that I got the ZDZ224, I can only hope it has e the same specific power of it's "smaller cousin". If the 40cc more works as planned, the 224 is gonna be the new king of the hill. |

Yes I was flying inverted passes on the test flight, from my stool of course. Doug approved of my stool. Yet one more pilot photo for my collection. -Dale- 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Re: The never ending engine thread, East-West
Humour is nothing more than Tragedy plus Time. I hope you've had long enough to find the humour in those photo's. Those will go down in your history. And for that I congratulate you. Hope you still had a ball though.
If you ask me, "Right down the centerline" (well close enough). -Dale- 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3
