================================================== ===========
Son of a GUN!
The DURAFLY 4-Blade 10.25" diameter Propeller is just AMAZING with the Park Zone 480 (960Kv) motor! It made my Park Zone P-47 Thunderbolt zoomed upward like a Home Sick Dove!
Better yet, I flew with someone with a fast Park Zone Mustang P-51D that had a stronger and more powerful motor and he just barely could keep up with my JUG!
The best part was him watching me land using the retracts and flaps while his model still had to resort to belly landings
A few pictures of today's action and my model sporting the new DURAFLY 4-Blade!
The 2200's cells came down just a slight warmer than with the GWS 4-Blade.
Comparing to two, the DURAFLY is most certainly faster and with more thrust! Additionally, I did not find the DURAFLY brittle or flimsy but, rather nice and strong and much better than the GWS.

Well guys,
I was finally able to measure the WATTS-AMP Draw of my JUG's Power System (using the Park Zone 480 "960Kv") while swinging the Durafly 4-Blade and it was a surprising...
1/2 Throttle: 132 Watts / 10.8 AMPs
Wide Open: 347 Watts / 29.2 AMPs
Since I found myself with nothing over 3/4 Throttle and mostly at 1/2 throttle "Typical Flight" then, I am completely SAFE using the Durafly 4-Blade (10.25 inches) with the Park Zone 480 (960Kv).
and Stock E-Flite 30-AMP ESC.
