Definitely running at 75,000 rpms (fiber optic sensor). As for the fuel, this was the first test. I have since put in a different fuel nozzle on the afterburner and put in a PWM motor controller on the fuel pump so I can fine tune it... I have definitely heard the screech you speak of ;) once i get it dialed in, the color will be a little more white as well. For build pics, go to the JATO forum and look for Nashville build.
the afterburner doesn't look as if its operating properly, And 75,000 seems alot on the estimate maybe 45,000 or 50,000 from what it looks and heres like on the video, its sounds like it needs more fuel in the AB, you will hear a loud screech when it properly turns on, POP! and SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH! and it would start to scoot on the ground trying to go somewhere. Good build though, do you have any pics of the build in progress?
