Hello all,

I'd like to know if anyone else has measured the static thrust of their turbine and come away with a dissapointing result? I just recently tested the static thrust of a well reguarded turbine from a very well known engine manufacture, and on a 60 degree day here in Virginia, even turning 2K RPM faster than stock, registered 3 pounds less thrust than advertised. I feel ripped off. Should engines be up to par before before there shipped out? Should engines that fall below advertised values be sold at a discounted rate? I'm intrested in others experiences, and opinions. Thanks, Greg Murphy



P.S. Notice the profound lack of an engine or manufacture's name in this post. I'm intrested in results on specific Engine's, but please, no engine/manufacturer bashing. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all.
