Default RE: Everything Radial Engines

This model is still in the works so the prop has not flown. It has been run on the RCV engine and seems to pull quite well......Being able to dial in more pitch is great for using all the power the engine can make. I did make sure the engine is below it's recommended max rpm to account for it unloading in flight so I'm about 5,600. Max for this engine at the prop is 6,000.

The prop blades are wood and are pre balanced and painted by carl at Solo Props. The profile for the blades are for the Spitfire, he can cut any profile upon your request. Nice guy to deal with.
