I just realized how rude that musta sounded =P I didn't mean it rude at all, I just ment that I couldn't have said it any better =)
thanks for the good info on the props... it's been so long since I've done much with them that I forgot all about text being on the side with the leading edge =)

On MOST propellers, the size is stamped onto the side that is visable to you ie...10-6, 8-4, whatever. That number should be on the visable side but logic don't always apply especially with these "weed whackers".

yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth =)
One other thing is that if you make it so it is spinning so the bottom of the tail rotor comes at you from behind the heli, you can get a roll over situation and bury your heli =( Make sure that the top side comes at you, and the bottom side of the rotor goes away from you. That will make the rotor forces cancel out and get you away from that rollover condition =)
Also with these DD blades there is a leading edge and a trailing edge, and it's good to get those right, even though they do not have to be in order to fly. Maybe someone else can post pics before I get to it, but if not I'll post some pics soon =)
