We ran some static thrust tests on my Piet this evening. Now realize these resultsare not official as I did not have the OFFICIAL FISH SCALE so we borrowedone. I did a 1 minute 20 second run at full power(2300 RPM). It stayed over 380#all the time. 404 was seen several times but 380's most of the time. Afterthat run let it idle a bit to cool down then checked the thrust at 2000 RPM justfor the curiosity in me. It read 310# to 320#. That was surprising. I figuredit would be 200-250.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009thru covering and painting, now in final assembly21" wheelsLycoming O-235 C2CJay Anderson CloudCars prop 76 X 44Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/a55_ ... __________
