Default RE: Moki 2.10

Hi Ben, I flew last night over at Bandera, it's a bit tight over there but close by the house, will try to get out again at least once this week. Yea it does seem a little weird that the rpms are not there but I have no complaints on the performance. Patty will hover at just over 1/3 throttle and will pull out with authority! I'm not so sure that rpm is the only yardstick when measuring propeller performance. I mean I could wrap 20 inches of weed trimmer line around the crankshaft and it would turn up a about a gazillion rpm but the thrust would be zilch. Anyway , you get my point, the real world test is to go fly it and see how it works in the sequence. I haven't got around to the APC 20x10 yet, that is one I am going to try soon, my only concern is downline braking, there doesn't seem to be a lot of blade area out there. The Moki 20x10 and Mezjlik 20x10 are two other props I want to try, especially the Moki. Bring your Edge over some time, I haven't seen you fly that one yet.
