Well, I don't have any data for that number, and haven't played with it yet. 53 Kw is a lot of power though, more than enough to run a house, and the blades shouldn't have that much drag at 0 pitch. The 9800 Kw at full power came from the 100% rating of all the engines running together. I have the POH, and eventually will be tuning number to normal operating ranges and comparing them against power checklists. Josh Using Tomcat but need to do more?
