I have the results of my static thrust testing at http://home.comcast.net/~mmorrison123/engine_test.html. Corvair with a homemade prop. 2500 RPM static giving 280 lbs thrust. I spoke with William Wynne at Oshkosh, and he indicated that for a Piet I should be more like 2700 RPM and 350 lbs thrust. I may look at getting a Warp prop. It is highly likely that the factory can make a better prop than I can.

Gentlemen,
Has anyone done a static thrust test on their flying airplane (or almost flying?).
I have measured 265 lbs. with my Model A and my 76/46 prop. I would be curious
how this stands up to others.
