Dick,
Could you tell us the actual prop types and sizes you have used that produced always the same 10oz thrust with 50W input?

Maybe you could convice helicopter manufacturers that the blades of their helicopters are way oversized, since they could get the same thrust no matter the prop size...
I must say -you missed the entire point of the test
Tho in your favor I must say that your misunderstanding is 100%.
You might be right, but I guess I'm not the only one here who misunderstood the results of your test.

Nevertheless, my question is fair.
Telling us the actual prop types and sizes you've used would greatly clarify these muddy waters.
Oh, perhaps you don't want to disclose too much of your "secret"...


No secret .
But I will leave you with a clue.
I was only measuring load to power input relationships
Load was expressed in thrust
input in watts .
Rpm was not a consideration
If that doesn't clarify it you might consider signing up for some more engineering classes.
