It would be useful to know the gear ratio involved in going from the engine to t he blades.

However once you know this and the power the following formula should help. Force required to lift = MA = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N 1. 2. 3. 4. Calculate Calculate Calculate Lift = TL Area of Blades A = Pi*r^2 (ft^2) Power Loading PL = Power/A Thrust Loading TL = 8.6859*PL^(-0.3107) * Power

Be aware that 10 - 15% of the power will be used by the tail rotor. Hope this is useful and gives you a rough idea.
