The first Flighttime Radio Show went pretty good. We expected to be out ofthings to say after the first five minutes, but as it turned out, we hardlygot to our guest and will have to have him back sometime, had two callers onthe line we could not get to before the show ended, and we didn't have timefor two events we needed to announce, announcing the topic of the next show,or talking about our web site of the week. I guess that there were a fewpeople listening because we had several hundred web site hits during thehour show and had callers from five states and a bunch of emails.We have several very special surprise guests for next week so listen at 9:00AM Eastern time.The show is now archived on our web site at www.flighttimeradio.com. Clickon SHOW ARCHIVE on the menus on the left. And if anyone knows how to add astreaming audio archive on the web site give me an email atbrian(at)engalt.com. Not to the entire list please!Brian KrautEngineering Alternatives, Inc.www.engalt.comwww.flighttimeradio.com________________________________________________________________________________

What are the cruiseand max rpm for that engine? 72-42 is larger than anything listed for use withan A75. You can use it on an A65, but cruise/max rpm is lower. If you putit on an A75, but you'll see about 65hp max out of it. The torque curves are veryclose up to A65 rpm levels and if you load it the same it will perform aboutthe same. You need to load it so that it reaches it's higher cruise/max rpmto produce full power, therefore you need less load than a 65.Mike--------Piet-builder-who-hopes-to-be-flying-next-summerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
