will the engine run in the vertical position? mount on a platform
pointing upwards. put the platform on some scales and weight it dow with a substancial weight. note the reading on the scales. fire it u and take care not to set the scales on fire! take a secon reading,subtract the second from the first and you have pounds thrust this is the weight that the engine is actually lifting shown as force
or make a rolling trolley with four wheels and mount the engin horizontally.hook up a piece of steel cable to the rear and then to spring balance anchored solidly. fire it up and the force on the sprin balance is the thrust measurement but includes friction in the trolle
