Thrust test VS actual flights
#1
There are a lot of people testing mini quad motors, ESC and propellers on a thrust stand, but how accurate are the data? 
For sure the result would be different when we are pairing different motor and ESC as well as props. not to mention there will be other factors from FC, battery etc..

What do you think?

Some in-depth bench tests tell more about current handling capacity, transition speeds, and relative RPM efficiency than anything. Together that information can be used to infer flight performance, but isn't a 1-to-1 relationship.

Based on my experience there's very little difference between the top ESCs out there in terms of flight performance, RPM output, braking etc. Any of the F39X, BLHeli_S and KISS like 32-bit ESCs are going to do very well. One thing that can't be told by bench tests are resistance to electrical noise, since bench tests are only using a single motor in a controlled environment.
