Aircraft engines are supposed to be simple..
dyno is not what it is using on the road. Car engines use 25-35% power at 55mph. Dyno is a false loading system. The math isn't hard but this will help- tlrussell

Aircraft engines are supposed to be simple..
Wrong. Do the math. 7.7l@230hp at 65% = 150hp/470ci = .32hp/ci 4.0l@270hp at 25% = 81hp/244ci = .28hp/ci Airplane motors are limited by more than the propeller speed. The physics of limiting maximum speed have many variables. Car engines average 20-30% max load capability in a lifetime...- tlrussell

How many of you fly at night regularly?
I plan my night flying around more than 50% moon, clear nights. I never take off at night. I never land at night at an unfamiliar airport.- tlrussell
