Intriguing... This could be made to work, I think...?
Very accurate RPM at every two revolutions from 1000
RPM to redline, plus weight and gearing and air density...
I think you could calculate HP and torque from that, no?
Accurate weight would be necessary, though. And drag
would only be approximate, if you figured that in.
