Default RE: Measuring Actual Thrust

I would like to add at this point . . . .

The reason the prop pitch goes up with the "Big engines" is that they turn less rpm. A 150cc twin gas engine may only turn around 6200 rpm. So in order to get the same forward speed, you will need to increase the prop pitch accordingly.
