At that time, I had lost the equation information, and I'm very happy
to see them come around again. More detailed equations are in the
alt.rec.aviation.homebuilt newsgroup, if anyone can find an archive
somewhere that dates back before 2006. I'm pretty sure that it
included correction for standard atmosphere, but I haven't been able to
find it.

That'll show you how the engine performance will change with the
atmospheric conditions. It doesn't show you how the energy absorbed by
the prop would be modified by the same conditions.
And the fence post building time IS working on the plane. It will be
prop #2, for some very vague definition of prop. Gotta have at least
three before I have something worthy of being considered flight ready.
