Honestly, I think this link here: http://www.peninsulasilentflyers.co...rs.com/files/documents/Tom_Hunt_prop_info.pdf, is way easier to grasp than the previous link listed. I'm not sure if I grasp pitch in terms of inches as I don't know how degrees for rotation calculates out to inches -- when I think of degrees, I think of it in degrees.

That said: Static propeller thrust, if this formula works right would be
0.00000000000283 * rpm^2 * Prop Diameter^4 * Air Density/29.92

I'm not sure what density I should use in this case... there's several units of measure one could use.
