Default vertical climbing tank/rover

Alright, so newton's law will most likely prevail here. But before I throw in the towel, can anyone tell me how much thrust and at what rpm my 5" x 3.5 pitch tri-prop will deliver? Or will I have to contact the manufacturer for an accurate answer? Is there a larger pusher prop out there? (by the way, the quad prop 9 incher I spoke of earlier is NOT a pusher - my mistake)
Also, since I'm so uneducated in this field, how much does a .40 - .46 engine weigh with 5-7 minutes of fuel? I've not given up yet!!! I may have to resort to forking out the $1000 or so it costs for one of them airscoots. For those unfamiliar, go to airscooter.com to see the first counter rotating fixed blade helicopter that anyone with half a brain can fly. Pretty cool unit!!! Anyhow, as always, mucho thanx for everyone's input, and if any of my questions can be answered, I could use the help - & lots of it, eh?
