RE: 1/2A THRUST-O-METER
Hi PROPJOB! Your ideas sound real good, to give you comparative data, but I still think the only way to know exactly how much my engine can "bench" is to have it do a dead lift with free weights[like at the gym]. The fancy machines at the gym with the cables, pulleys and springs don't truly duplicate the effort, [but they sure are alot safer]! My gizmo is more of a hassle to get a reading with because you have to fumble with the little weights. To make it easier to use, I'm going to glue a dowel to the gondola that the weights can be slid onto quickly. Now I have to go out and buy a white lab coat, and get a clip board, and maybe a real frizzy hair-do!
