Ghost Rider, let me make this perfectly clear I'm not here to get into a pissing contest, and I'm aware that the engine will run with, whatever ECU that it is connected too, and in answer your question "was it tested on a bench that measure the actual thrust" well my friend that is a wholeheartedly, "NO IT WAS NOT" now that being said ,it doesn't invalidate the tests that I performed. I've been in this hobby for 34 years, I've been flying turbines for 11 years, I have a variety of turbines from 80 class - 180 class, three different brands, (A total of 8 turbines) and trust me I know what 19 pounds, 30 pounds or whatever the pounds of thrust feels like in my hand so I don't need to use an exact measuring stick in this case.
