I have also been doing some static tests lately. I have found that some engines are not producing what they quote. I have also found that a engine in a bypass is way down on static but in the air it's fine. For instance a P70 in my Bandit Arf is just about doing 14lb static but in the air it's not a 14lb motor pushing it around. I also checked a AMT mercury which we knew for a fact what the static thrust was on a bench, but when fitted in a Flash it was about 2lb down.

If you are feeling really bad about getting ripped off on the thrust side of it, I really would not recommend you testing the fuel consumption!I did that once and..[:@]
