SR, I ran and tached my Italian G.51 today. Here's what I got:
temp: 77°
Powermaster GMA 5/22
K&B 1L plug
APC 11x6
12,679
6.35lbs. static thrust
1.13hp
For comparison's sake, here's what my ST G.45 did with the same prop and fuel:
12,853
6.52 lbs. static thrust
1.18hp

I'm going to try an APC 11x6 tomorrow and see what I get. You're getting close to 2000RPM more than I am. That is a HUGE difference. Will the prop make that much of a difference?
I ordered a MACs pipe for it and I have a quiet tuned pipe that I'm planning to use on it. It will go on a 4lb Little Stick.
How are you guys calculating thrust? Is there a site some where that will tell you?
