Hi all,
Further on this line of enquiry, most of the fixed wing Lames spoken too all go on about the engine high RPM 3200 being an ask for eventual trouble.
Having some brief time in the 300cb, the FM tells ya the donk is producing 180hp at 2700RPM.
This is a figure more in line with the fixed wing applications for the 360 Lycoming. The R22 Beta 2 also runs the 360 at about 2700RPM for a lower rated HP output.
IF the question of engine reliabillity is bound by how hard you work it, Would the H300C be a more reliable A/C if the donk spun slower, Would the HP produced still be in line with load capacity (I know the CB is a little short on oomph when required).
Is the power band in the 360 such that it has to spin at 3200 for the FM stated performance of the H300C.
Questions, questions, questions
