Default Update

I've been running the Zinger 16x5 cut down to 15 dia. and modified according to 3Dreaming on my Ecstasy w/ ST90, Mac header and tune pipe. I was flying a APC 15x4W originally at 11,400 RPM. I ran the modified Zinger last weekend and it ran at 10,600 RPM. I swept the angle back some more to be 1" from the tip, radiused it, then thinned the blades. This prop ran in the high 11s (I think - not quite enough light for my tach yesterday, but obviously higher RPM than the APC). It flew great. Still not the pulling power of the APC, though great throttle response!
