we are talking about the same thing. I know you cannot run a motor without the tires on. I already know that. what i want to know is how much the prop weighs. Because really it only matters when you vary the throttle. Since the clutch is disengaged.
So i guess the real question is, does the break in bench have a load on it ALL THE TIME. Not just when the clutch engages.
OR
Is there a flywheel/clutch that engages the prop?
if there is a load on it at ALL times then even in your buggy you would have to have a big ass flywheel to equal that. Or you would have to have a high enough idle to engage the clutch at all times, which would not be good for the engine.
low and varied rpm's with load at all times. Sounds like a winner
wait i understand now. The prop creates load from air resistance on the fin fan.
well crap. Strap a propellar to a stand and break the sucker in!
