going to try this out in 13", 14" and 15" lengths to see if it works better that the 16x10 on my gasser motor. 50cc twin, chainsaw 33cc and zenoah motor. could also run it as a 3 blade

RE: what u think about my new 6 blade prop ( got a 5 blade ready to test)
Dude I just did that just last weekend.
I put two three bladed props on my Saito .62. I have bench tested it and all went well. The props were already balanced so I just bolted them on to engine with the prop nut. I kept the prop blades equal distance apart to help in balancing the whole thing. I plan to do a thrust test this weekend. I want to compare the difference between a three bladed prop and a six bladed prop. I am looking for grunt not speed.

Looks like it would be very hard to balance. Might want to use nylon lock nuts for safety. Overall I thinks it's killer and hopes it does what you want. A+

Great thought process. You are a pioneer in prop/hub development. I look forward to see what's next.
Thinking outside the box. I like it.

You have heaps of thrust with that prop set up. She looks good on the water nice and smooth.

i will sell them. it depends on the size of the hub and the length of the blades. my 5 blade is made with 11x7 apc props. and a 5" hub making it about 15" long.
