They are made of a black material, Charles. I did nothing to them. They don't seem to be plastic either, I'm not sure what they're made of seems like some kind of graphite or carbon material. I still...

RE: Regarding SP series engines, props and airspeed...

You cannot set the blades to 0 pitch (at least not on this 4 blade hub!). 6 degrees pitch is where the stops are (and the lowest possible setting on the guage coinidentally). I made sure the blades...

RE: Regarding SP series engines, props and airspeed...

Arruda, what was your max rpm reading with the APC 15.5 x 12 (4 blade) prop? I couldn't get over 4200 rpm's with this prop even with less than 10 degrees pitch... with the break-in MA 18x12 (2-blade...

RE: Regarding SP series engines, props and airspeed...

Why did you have to make a scale prop? Do you mean for display purposes only, or to fly with in place of the vario prop?

Wow! Almost 15lb plane... that's heavy man! LOL! :eek:

RE: Regarding SP series engines, props and airspeed...

See I didn't think it was that simple either... my gut says there's more to the speed a plane flies than just the pitch of the prop multiplied by the rpm's it turns. Otherwise a 5 inch diameter prop...
