Wide Blade Props

Gents,

What is the advantage if any, of using a wide blade prop (APC 14x4W) versus a standard prop (APC 14x4) ?

RE: Wide Blade Props

For the slow RPM we want in 3D, the wide blade props perform better. They work better in the lower range, the thinner props work better in the high range.

RE: Wide Blade Props

i dont like them they spool up slower. then again i have faster spinning props, IMO better for 3D as it gives more responce. saying that on my latest plane 5000rpm is fast!

RE: Wide Blade Props

I like the "W" blades... Seems to be better for me with my type flying(trying 3D)
plus they slow you better on landings.... But I like the normal pitch props when
I'm tumbling around:D
