Default RE: LT-40, will this combo fly?

It is my hope to finish the landing gear mods this evening.

I have a electrical question. What are the effects of a prop being too small?

As my previous posts have indicating, I'm *****g out the voltage for which the motor is rated. But if there isn't enough prop? What happens?

I hope to report back here later tonight or tomorrow my Watt meter's findings. I have aquired different sized props. I now have 11x6, 11x7, 12x6, 12x7, and 12x8 (I think) props. I even have some 13 inch props, but I can't remember their pitches.

Which ones should I test, and what numbers should I be recording? I presume I should take all measurements at full throttle?


TIA

Lyndon
