Default Propeller Thrust Calculator

I find that Thrust HP's calculated static thrust is, like said above, "overly optimistic", even on small props. On a plane-engine setup that Thrust HP says I will have 1.5 thrust-to-weight ratio, I can barely hover at full throttle. I feel that ThrustHP's static thrust calculation is too high by 30~40%
