Webra 160; was: Mintor 1.70

[Wayne Galligan]

Jerry, 

I was pleasantly surprised too.   I can only imagine what this engine will perform like in cooler weather.  We have also been surprised that these numbers are coming from 10% Magnum fuel.  Now its just a matter of getting it my plane and trying different props.
I failed to note that I am using 2 - A5 plugs.

  That's pretty good, the best numbers I've heard yet for a 3M-170.

  For comparison my Webra 160 turned the APC 17x12 at 8500 rpm at the 
  Fresno Contest in June and then again in 104 degree heat at Riverside 
  on the 4th of July.  That's not peak rpm but the flight setting which 
  was a bit rich (new motor and all).  Magnum #1, YS plug, ES-2C140L90 
  pipe set at 23-1/4" baffle to plug, stock 1.75" rise Mac's header, MC 
  carb.  The motor is timed so that it doesn't come onto the pipe at 
  all (i.e., NO pipe jump), and the throttle response is linear from 
  idle to full power.  It's also ultra quiet on the ground (under 92 db 
  at the Nats) and in the air.

  Tony Frackowiak's running the same setup in an Alliance on Magnum 15% 
  fuel and turning 8200-8400 (again set a bit rich).

  I can't imagine what else anyone would want out of a motor.  It's 
  essentially perfect.
