Finally have the numbers from the test stand on the thrust of the Power 60 with a 13X12 3 blade... There is some drag from the anti rotation pin (for torque) and general friction in the rig. But even with all of that, we have 12.3-12.6 pounds of thrust according to my new digital fish scale!!! I think we have a least a pound more, but going with the raw data, we have 49.2 lbs of thrust for a 45lb airplane! I think we are in business!!! :Cool::Smug::Party:
