Default RE: Do you measure static thrust of your engines?

I have always said that HP rating is a totally useless number because it is never explained what parameters "they" used to get it. I like Fox' way of saying a certain engine will turn a certain prop at a given rpm on 5% nitro. That is all you need to know.
