Thrust Test Stand


With this easy-to-make test stand, you can accurately measure the static thrust of your motor & prop setup.

I found this in a RCGroups discussion forum, so I can't take credit for it.

This design is simplicity itself. I'll build one soon, because my current thrust meter is difficult to set up.

 



Just print this drawing and start building your own test stand...
