Download ThrustHP. http://www.hoppenbrouwer-home.nl/ika...rusthpv20d.zip

This will give you a general idea of what you should be getting.

If you want exact for your specific engine then you'll need to contruct a rig in order to measure the thrust your engine is putting out.

That would work just fine for testing and comparing for your engine

That would be static force, not thrust.

It is a Zip file. You need to unzip it into a new folder then run the setup.exe file from that folder.
