Been trying to find some Information that make sense to me.
As close as I can find My little bug motor on my mini air boat I'm building ,with a 59" three blade prop and 12* pitch blocks at 3000 rpm delivering around 50 hp. to the prop makes 200 to 250 pounds of thrust.
OK SO what the heck does that mean?
Is that a lot or is that so small it would make a good hair dryer?
The calculations and calculators are very abstract to me and tell me nothing this simple Montana head can understand.
About half the calculators refer to water props and SOME flat out tell me that a 55 pound thrust trolling motor is around 3 hp. I can understand that. But air is way different I know.
Can any one help?
My head hurts.
