Default Thrust Measurement

Real world numbers are best taken with a scale on the tail wheel of the plane...The thrust chart shows 25 lbs for an 18-6 Mejzlik at 9000 rpm..Spring scale shows 17.5....Another test showed 18+ on a plane with a Zinger 18-6 at 7800.....There are too many variables to get accurate numbers from a chart...
