Wooden Props
 

can you get 11x4 wooden props in the UK. id like to try one on my fun fly, i used a 10x6 and i liked it allot but the pitch was just too high IMO. i liked it tho cos of the high RPMs and fast spool up cos of the props light weight

Blimey ed, you using a spell checker now (apart from one little slip)?! [sm=tongue.gif]

Try 11x4 zinger, not a bad prop but quite noisy and slightly down on thrust compared to the APC. Worth a try though, just watch your landings, it can get expensive!

RE: Wooden Props
 

what makes a prop different from another prop, why are zingers down on thrust, same diameter and pitch?

RE: Wooden Props
 

It depends on the width of the blades and the shape of the tips of the blades. You can have a prop the same pitch but wider blades and it will "spoon" more air. Props with blunt ends tend to be noiser than pointed ones.

cool, thanks. ill look into them, my old supply of APC 10x5s has stoped as the guys changed to 11x4s so thats why im looking into prop experimenting

Herc, still dont use spell check, just im learning to proof read
