We need someone to help in determining how much power a tail rotor subsystem on a model helicopter consumes when being driven to the extreme of pitch. The tail rotor system rotates on a 5 mm shaft. Is there someone who is willing and able to quickly help us determine either the current draw (Amps) or the amount of power (watts) being consumed at approximately 10,000 RPM? The rotor diameter varies between 9" and 9-1/2" depending on the rotor blades selected and of course is variable pitch. We can supply the components.
