Default RE: Contra Rotating Propeller Drive for f3a 2m Pattern Planes

Brenner,

I believe that most setups like this use a higher pitched prop in the rear as the front prop has accelerated the air. What you may have it the rear prop cavitating in the wash from the front prop.

I would try leaving the 2018 up front and the 2020 in the rear.

Good luck, eagerly watching this,
