Actually boots, I was wondering why he wanted to measure static thrust, It was a follow on to your request for more info.

Static thrust is pretty much a meaningless measure for beginners. We deal in the realm of dynamic thrust of an unloaded propeller and a moving airplane. The stump pulling power of a stalled prop, also known as a "fan" is really only important to the high alpha/high$$ guys.

I'm not being critical, just curious.
