Real performance measurement featuring in-flight testing
Article Abstract:
The Rev-Up 8 3/4-by-7 3/4 showed the best performance during testing, doing well in turns and showing speed during straight flights. The Nelson 40Q has too much drag, the Rev-Up 9-by-7 had problems with turns and the Master Airscrew 9-by-8 engine was too much ground load.
