Honest Thrust numbers!
I know there are a few of you out there that have done some at home static thrust tests after receiving your motors. I would love to know if all the numbers have been in line with manfs. claims.
If you dont want to post here, please email to me.
I am mostly interested in the 25 plus pound motors, any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
....yes, I may mention it later!

Hi Ray,
Just a note... To make sure the info is accurate, the thrust figures should probably be accompanied by a description of the measurement tool. ex: fish scale, force gauge, hunk of lead lifted off the ground by a cable
, etc.
I have seen and used 'accurate' scales from a local 'all in one' auto supply store that can vary by +/- 4 lb at the 30lb mark.
We use a properly calibrated force gauge when benchmarking an engine prior to shipment.

Tad you have some work on your hands I think.
Kelly very good points. The emails that I have received are all giving the parameters as you mentioned.
It is good to know that of the responses that I have received thus far, all the motors out of the box perform as advertised.
