I was trying to figure out the fuel burn on the AMT ( jet models )
engines. As close as I could figure, they burn about 4 gph. And the
thrust was listed in KG and there were other variables related to this
thrust ( air temp, etc. ) but a guy put 2 of them ( poor mans dual
ignition )on his Cri-Cri aircraft and flew at 150 mph. I think they
said he had 35 KG of thrust. Of course, the engines only weigh 5 lbs.
each which is pretty cool.


IIRC, LBS thrust = ("roughly" ...be gentle) 65% for its horsepower
equivilant.

100 lbs thrust will be about 65 hp. Is this close to being a workable rule
of thumb?
