Will find out next spring as we are going to set up ballad thrust testing, basically full rpm sitting stationary pushing on a scale pad. If it is going to flare / cavitate etc, this should make it happen.
This sounds like a fun test, I’d love to be around for it that’s for sure. I’d also be courious what my setup would pull.
