| I was told by Larry Bergen, my G260PUH is closer to 4 HP at the 13,000 to 14,000 RPM range. The Heli and Marine versions are not the same as the regular RC versions I think.
The manual says kW/rpm = 1.71/13000 So when you do the math it comes up with ?? HP. You do the math......
According to this article on how to convert KW to HP and visa versa...
Horsepower:
The horsepower (hp) is a unit in the foot-pound-second (fps) or English system, sometimes used to express the rate at which mechanical energy is expended. It was originally defined as 550 foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s).
A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watts (W) or 0.746 kilowatts (kW). To convert from horsepower to watts, multiply by 746. To convert from watts to horsepower, multiply by 0.00134. To convert from horsepower to kilowatts, multiply by 0.746. To convert from kilowatts to horsepower, multiply by 1.34.
I do believe it comes out to be 2.4 HP , I don't even think Zenoah knows what the HP is, but when you add a good pipe to that motor the power will go much higher, oh well just my 2 cents to add to the confusion.... Merry X-Mas |
