so I take it that the measurements are taken with the plane sitting on the ground at wide open throttle?

That's correct with the plane on the ground, grass or ash fault 3 meters from the center of the spinner an even with the prop, on the down wind side, the meter held 24" off the ground at full throttle the reading is taken. I can tell you that a lot of larger glow powered planes will fail this test.

We all know you are right, however we are not the powers to be and we have nothing to say about how the test is performed.[]
All of us only want to fly our planes not fight [sm=punching.gif]with other club members so we have to abide by there rules like it or not.
