DUDE a plastic prop?????seriously???????im trying to get this guy good advice so he can get some speed out of it....you CAN NOT be seriouse about speed and run a plastic prop..thats for play not for race or speed...they flex to much...all that aluminum hanging on the back adds alot of weight
I have used plastic octura with a lot mixed results. At 40mph they tend to come apart on me. 40krpm does that too.
In fact I have done the same to the Cu/Be octura props too, that is what pushing boundaries in the name of research will do.

The weight of the hardware is not significant as a proportion of the overall hull.

I can see you have the nitro OB Spitfire. How many FE riggers have you setup and run.....fast and consistently ?

I was keen to offer my knowledge here on FE rigger setups, but it would seem that there are plenty of experts here already.

I'll watch.
