Default RE: 3D prop for <span class=

Just be careful in lowering the prop, if you go too low the long stroke engine will be very unhappy at top rpm, it may exceed the designed limits of the engine and lose a rod. Plus if the pitch is too low it may hover well but be a nightmare on take-off and regular flight, meaning not enough air speed for foward flight and control of the surfaces.[]
That's my trial and error findings.[:-]
