ORIGINAL: Flyboy63

im new to this stuff, i got couple of question.what is prop pitch?like 10x6 etc..and what is a side force generator?
Prop pitch is the distance the prop would move forward as it passes through the air if there is no slippage. So you 10X6 is a 10" diamater propeller and for each rotation, the prop wants to move forward 6".

Side force generator? Well, that is anything that generates a side force. In what context are you using the phrase?
