I just got a chance to test the trust on my BME115 with a 28X10 PT Models prop and MTW75H cans. The out side temp was 86 and the humity was 90% and the elevtion was 764 feet. The rpm was 6684 this was using a TNC tack.

And a digital fish scale got 49.4 pounds of thrust.

What thrust can you out of that BME ?
If you try a different prop I think you can break 50lbs

RTK what prop would you try.

Do you think I should be looking for more RPMs.

Considering that your D.A. was probably 3000ft ++ i would say your numbers are close. D.A.= Density Altitude If you knew the baro reading we would know for sure but i bet i'm close. Many years racing has taught me the affect of DA on performance
