Default RE: Realistic Propeller Thrust Calculator?
No slight was intended as I use Thrust Hp all of the time to try and predict performance. It is very inaccurate for oddly shaped props. For example I cut a master airscrew 8x5 undercambered electric prop down to 4.1" for use in a Turbo bee (see RCU videos) and mounted it on a stand and measured 19 oz of thrust at 20,000 RPM. Thrust HP says this will put out 5 oz of thrust???
