Engine Thrust Test Comparisons 5/14/2023

Our favorite in the heavier backpack units was the new Sky 150 on the Miniplane Long Range 150cm cage with a 3-blade Helix 140cm propeller. Thrust tests showed it with a much higher consistent thrust than the Vitto Moster 185cc and the Fresh Breeze Monster 313cc!

Here is a pic of it mounted on our TrikeBuggy Mini-Bullet ready for flight:

Sadly, we did not gather the RPM data for these tests, this would have been helpful. Next time!

Tests were done at Adelanto, CA at 2800 feet, 90 degree air temperature. Your results may vary!
