As a general rule, we have been reducing maximum revs by 1,000 rpm for free practice on Friday. |
This gives a maximum power output of 110 horsepower generated at 5,800 revs. |
It responds to high revs and comes alive as the red rev counter homes in on the 8,000 rpm redline. |
The flight was 25 miles in total and my ground speed was 60 mph with the bar in and about 6,000 revs on the tach. |
The engine will quite happily sit at the legal limit in fifth gear at under 2000 revs. |
All in all the Magnum features integrated aerodynamics, the engine with high torque from low revs, with good fuel consumption. |
