Status: offline 		I am curious as to why your only running a two bladed prop.That isn't scale,yet I see alot of that on some beautiful aircraft.Is there a reason for that?

Status: offline 		The engine isn't physically capable of turning a 4 blade prop at a scale diameter.................remember the full-size engine is massively powerful in comparison, plus has a large reduction drive housed in the front of the crank case allowing it to turn a ver large wide blade prop at much lower rpom's. Our engine is low powered in comparison, and is also direct drive with no gear reduction.

We have to run the most suitable prop for the engine to allow it to run a smaller 2 blade prop at higher rpm's...................the appearance of the prop is of no concern in the air, thats why we have a large 4 blade prop for static photos etc...
