Default RE: Scale Props

Simple physics. The average model engine spins too fast to make a 4 blade prop work efficiently. Most any motor will turn some sort of 4-blade, but not a flyable prop. On the other hand, if you have the room in the model to put a monster power plant it might work. The other solution is a gear reduction of some sort to slow the prop down enough to use lots of pitch.
