With Xoar 22x8 was turning 7200 and pulling 25 lbs of thrust @ 1200 ASL and 74 F
With Xoar 23x8 it's turning 6700 and pulling 26¼ lbs of thrust @ 1200 ASL and 74 F
Guys:
I have not read this entire thread, it's too long. Could somebody please answer this?
Is this typical power from a DL-50? I have seen numbers all over the board. Testing procedures vary wildly so I never know who to believe.

Hi Tom,
Here is how I tested the DL50.
The RPM'S are fairly accurate, my meter may bounce around by 20 RPM. With the Xoar 22x8 the meter was reading 7200 to 7220 RPM. With the Xoar 23x8 it was reading 6690 to 6700 RPM
The thrust readings may or may not be accurate, as I'm using a 50 lbs digital fish scale and did not verify its accuracy with dead weights. Also the digital fish scale bounces around within a ¾ lbs range ( it's not a steady number) I post the reading in the middle of the range.
The two readings can be compared to each other, as I measured both props the same way.
