Default Can I cut down a prop?
Hi.
I have a ZDZ 160 with a 3W 32X10 prop on it, and I think the prop is a little on the heavy side RPM vise. (5050 rpm's) Can I cut the tips a little, and reshape them and still get a good result? I was hoping to be able to rise the RPM's to around 5900- 6000, and I don't have time to wait for a new prop to arrive I want to fly NOW

Next time I will try a Menz 30X10 and see what it will give.


Thank you
Steinar
