Default RE: Prop Question

Over time you will discover that for non-competition models, any prop within an inch of the "best" diameter will work as good as you can fly. Best thing is that many, many props work well for just boring holes in the sky.

On the other hand, if you know what to look for, the same prop (a 10x6 for example) by different mfg will perform just a bit different. So there will almost always be differences, just not always much.

Matter of fact, just today, one of the guys broke his favorite 14x6. He pulled out a brand new one by the same mfg. Perfectly identical, right? Well, his needle setting had changed and that identical prop seemed a bit slower as well. Same diameter. Same pitch. Same mfg. Same everything...... different performance.

Try whatever you think might work, because it most probably will. And any you try might be better than the last. They ain't magic, and they're not perfectly predictable.
