4th Generation 196cc Experimental Paramotor - 'Re-Source' - Eggstatic #45
Hello All,
@eggstatic will become a chronological 're-source' for all my documented (video or otherwise) achievements in the last 10 years or so of my hobby/lifestyle activities, primarily but not exclusively related to my paragliding and/or paramotoring exploits.
Everything I post within this steemit realm will be my own original content, some of it may require the dust blowing off it ;)
My original Wordpress blog has a lot more information regarding the experimental paramotor side of things on offer for those of you with an inquisitive or inventive streak: https://eggmotor.wordpress.com/
Here I demonstrate the on back starting again but more importantly I want to test the thrust output again with the upgraded engine parts (gx390 carb & milled 14cc cylinder head). Using the 'bathroom scales' thrust measurement, the results were slightly down on the previous engine configuration. My consensus is that the engine might be running lean. A few days later I increased the main carb jet from 0.88mm to 1.00mm and based on my calculations of the new rpm data with this 36x10PJD-P propeller is that I'm now achieving 45kg thrust. Flight testing will prove whether or not this is the case.
Thank you for stopping by and helping me to relive my finest moments.
