Prop shaving and pitch question
I have a quick question about shaving or cutting down props. Say you have an 8 x 6 and cut down to about a 6 1/2" diameter. What would the pitch be then after cut down?
Once it is cut down seems more meat of the prop is now at tips of blade. So what would the pitch be after that is done? Or is it still the same. Any ideas on this or know any way to determine the pitch after this is done? Or is there a way to calculate what the pitch would be after a certain amount is cut off the prop?
Reason why I am asking I would like to be able to know pitch and diameter so I can just buy a made prop at that size. It just takes way to long to cut, shave down, and and balance a prop and find its still to big. Then have to repeat when messing around with different pitches. I think it takes me about an hour to do one prop. I would rather be flying than messing with props. So if anyone has an idea on this or way to figure this out maybe a calculation let me know.. Thanks
