I've used 2-blade 6 and 6.5 inch ones - love them!

Are they for electric?

Nice! Should work a treat! I only asked about electric because I believe they also have IC props but I've never used them.

I have experimented with hovercraft, however:

I am a little confused - the blades are advertised in inches - is this each blade or the total diameter of the prop when put together with the hub. Acording to vario wbesite http://www.modellhaus.co.uk/ are supposted to be the UK dealers but i cant see anything on their website.

Dimensions are complete prop diameters, not blades.

I also had that problem with local supplier and ordered my most recent set direct from Germany - took about a week.

Thanks - I have just got a KMP/YT Twin Otter and thought it might look good with scale 3 bladers - although the Current £ to Euro makes the props slightly expensive at the moment

May be expensive but when you would normally break a prop you usually just break a vario blade!

Couple that with the ability to tune it to airframe and motors and I think you'll find they are good value.

By the way, I have no connection to Varioprop - other than as a happy customer.

I have used them and they work very well and are extreemly smooth.

Here is the one I used on my Hangar 9 1/4 scale Cub.

I'd like to order a set for a 60 size war bird, probably for either my RCV 90SP or RCV 91CD. Please share any advice if you have some to spare. I'm going to poke around the web site some ore to see if I can figure out exactly what I need!
