3 of our new Titan Engines all lined up and ready for MT vibration test on RV8. 212hp 409, 196hp 370, 188hp 340, and the last one that is not shown because if still on Dyno until tomorrow is our new counter-weighted 206hp 370.
Strain gages on prop blades and on crank to measure torsional vibration levels to make sure MT Props are certified for all our new engines.
Royce and I are on a role! We mounted equipment Monday and completed test on 409. Here we have just finished swapping 409 for first 370 and completed test in just 8 hours. Tomorrow we throw on next counter-weighted 370, and if all goes well we will finish with 340 and smaller MT prop on Thursday. I am really interested in finding out how 340 runs on RV8. It puts out about 188hp but only weights 250lbs. with cold induction and AFP fuel injection and Lightspeed.
Joseph from MT Propeller, doesn't like riding in the back, I think he would much rather do the pilot thing.
