Tee Dee RC .050 - Carbon 4x4.5
Best hold peak 27,051 / .164hp / 122w / 8.5oz thrust / 115 mph
Nelson plug / aluminum carb body / pressure tap on muffler.
Carbon 5x4.5 for unloaded flying will mimic this performance safely at 28k / 120 mph.

Cox TD RC .050 / 23,821 / High Comp Plug.
Best peak 6.7oz thrust / .113hp / 84w /102 mph

Here I show the staging of the tank first NV set and peaked but then the pressure builds up in the tank and
peaks fuel delivery creating a rich NV and I have to reset the NV again to compensate provides a jump in
power but not near as much as the Nelson plug.

Winner Nelson plug +38w more power on the top end.

Blade shape and prop hub looks like it.

It's most definitely a 4.75 x 4. I don't have any other 1/2A size APC props. This is the one that I sent to Ron Cribbs to run on the tach-race engines.

Regarding my vid Brad; could you please check my run rpm's with your audio-tach when you get a chance? I couldn't get a reading with my tach this afternoon. It just read 000... Laughing I'm guessing it may have peaked at close to 18K.. but my ears could be wrong.. Thanks Smile BTW.. I got the Tee Dee .09 running! The vid is in that thread.

Hello Friend Eric, no, I do not pay to translate, I use a Google service that is free, has no cost, what I say is, that translations are often basic and may change some words giving even a different meaning to the phrase, but I think not that we understand each other quite well.
I like to share with you, I like to be here!

Thank you Eric, amazing results I was a bit shocked myself.

What makes it possible Galbreath / Nelson Plug of course and:

- Muffler pressure helped to feed fuel flow demand at such high rpm.

- Weight of prop helped to over come the high pitch loading

- Stiff carbon allowed the engine to harmonically sync and sing!
 the tips are actually flared up a hair helps / no flutter.

- Drag reduction, the nature of the material is very strong allowing for
 less meat at the hub with a thinner airfoil / sharper edge.

- High camber airfoil produced a ton of thrust well beyond traditional
 IC props the air blast from the 4in prop felt like a 5in standard airfoil.

10 yrs ago 100% carbon props where expensive to buy, today price
is very reasonable. The 5x4.5 would be best for unloaded field use at
around 27k.

I have used a 4.1x4.1 with no issues to 30.5k rpm, carbon / nylon prop
with a thicker foil / 5.4oz 2ch plane.

Thanks Mauricio! Here 's the vid and some statistics..

Cox Tee Dee .09 (early version)
-prop; Cox 7 x 3.5
-head; Cox std./high-compression using single gasket.
-fuel; Sig Champion "25"
-fuel tank; Perfect #8 (1.25oz.)
-run data, courtesy of Brad (1/2A Nut); Static 13,969 to 14,050 / 21oz thrust / .167hp / 125w / 47 mph (thanks Brad!  Thumbs Up  )

Thanks also to CEF members "cribbs77" (Ron) for the pair of Cox wrenches and "DCKRSN" (Bob) for the Tee Dee glow-head and 7 x 3.5 prop. Without their generous contributions, and the helpful advice from many of "you".. this engine would not be running. The red "Kwik-Klip" was given to me recently by "Ken Cook".. along with a nice fuel-bulb. Thanks again Ken!

Great Roddie, I still think that this Post brings together many experiences from all of us and those who join in uploading data and engines on the move, I think, is a very good reference library for many stakeholders from different parts of the world. That will enrich the forum! Thumbs Up

Brad!, it's a beautiful engine! Tell me, to start it, do you use the starter or do it without the spring?
It has a phenomenal march! and the carburetor works very close to the engine! Eyebrows

I use the fuel bulb on the vent line to put pressure in the tank it fills the pickup line going to the carb.
When fuel is present in the carb I flip over the engine manually to prime the cylinder, "a wet condition
is felt / heard" it is ready to start. I bump start it with green Hornet starter from Sullivan fires up quickly
without much delay. I do not like using spring starters on engines with aluminum carb bodies it mares the
anodizing over time and aluminum collar. My TD .010's have aluminum carb bodies, I take exception to those
and spring start as the engine is far too delicate for the hornet starter.

Video shows it in 480P

Here is what I see on my full screen 28" monitor
Notice the sides are black not even full screen view when
but at full screen.

Something on your settings during recording or when uploading
to Youtube perhaps?

Hello friend, yes, there is something about the configuration between Youtube and the camera I use that is generating this .... mmmm can I bother you Brad ?, what happens if you put your smartphone to the sound of the video, can you read the rpm? just to check ... if you want of course, I do not want to take your time ... thank you friend!

Hello András, the last three photos that accuse the rpm I can see them perfectly on my screen, in the video can not see, there is a configuration issue between the camera you use and YouTube ... tell Brad if you can place your phone to the sound of the video, to check .... thanks friend for letting me know this!

Excellent Very Happy Very Happy !, thank you friend !, yes just the bursts of seeing that were about 35 km made the engine vary its status.
I have been surprised by the high rpm, this is probably due to the fact that the linear wind with the engine helped not to offer resistance (as, say, if it were flying) ... Flying
