RE: Is there a quick & dirty way to calculate prop thrust???
Hi,
Quick and dirty prop thrust? How about adding engine thrust?
There is a very simplistic way for comparative testing and ball park
force amounts.
Tie a string on your airplane tail wheel. Add to that a fish scale and anchor
the scale.
Run the engine and note scale readings.
Viola! Theust amounts for both prop and engine.
Good luck!
