Pulltest result
After tweaking the fuel system, we got 430 Lbs of thrust. Warp Drive 70 inches - 3 bladed propeller set at 10.5-11 degrees. No shaking !
Lots of RPMs...and noise from the prop.

Most excellent... those are the pull numbers you want to see before leaving the safety of Mother Earth. Bob stuart found that the electric boost pump tended to "flood" the mixture.

Hi,
Too much fuel because the Primer/booster pump was left ON. Could keep it ON if wanted, just have to lean the fuel mixture. The sure way to do is to turn it OFF after engine start. The engine is REALLY strong... René (helper) was very impressed and somewhat alarmed to see all the thrust we were getting... He checked his knots carefully while testing... Not being a great fan of auto conversion engines, he told me 'This thing wants to fly real BAD!"
We'll see to that.
