Dieselman1220,

How do you know your turbine is putting 22+ LBS out at max RPM? Do you have a test stand or some type of scale that you use to verify the specs? I heard the German and some other European built turbines use a calculation based on 15*C temp, humidity, density altitude etc and readjust the actual output to their stated output. I have seen some YouTube video's, of some guys in Oklahoma testing their KingTech's in like 90* weather. They had a digital scale set up on a cool stand they built and video'd the actual thrust the KingTech's were producing, and it was over the stated thrust on the website. I hear Merlin's are good turbines but I'm curious if they calculate their thrust like the other German turbines.
