The thrust that I measured is way too low/high.

In a single-motor setup, it is usually recommended to use the thrust stand in a push mode, which means the propeller pulls air from the stand towards the open area as proposed in the following figure:

If you still find the thrust generated by the propeller is way too low or too big, please follow this guideline:

  • Make sure rotation: leading edge that rotates in the front.
  • If you find the propeller is rotating with the trailing edge in the front, switch any two out of three poles to change the direction.
  • Please make sure that the propeller you are using is larger than the surface area of the thrust stand, as drag may sometimes play a key role on the thrust measurement.
  • When the propeller that you used is too small for the thrust stand, the result may be severely affected. Please use the appropriate stand for the right size of propellers.
