RE: Adequate static thrust for model?
Bruce,
Nice to hear from you over here in the aerodynamics forum. I looked around for electric APC props-- the only 7 inch ones were 7X5, I think. I have a reg APC 7X3, but it's way too heavy-- almost 1/2 oz. Which APC props were you talking about?
Watching the fat Zinger 7X3 being spun by the mighty Pee Wee is quite a sight. If I can get the RPM's up to 4800 and keep the total weight of the model to about 5 oz, I think things will be ok. It would be great to have a Pee Wee slow (and not-so-noisy) parkflyer.
Thanks a lot for your help.
George
