Would like your advise on Dynathrust propellers. Good, Bad, or otherwise. To be used on converted weed wacker motors.
Thanks for your help!

Dynathrust and Master Airscrew Classic 4 propellers are rather inexpensive composite propellers. They do not perform as well as the higher end propellers but work fine for sport flying. Since a converted weed whacker is a sport engine either will work fine.
My preference is the following:
Size 16 x 6 through 20 x 10, the MAS classic 4 is a better performing propeller because it is stiffer than dynathrust.
Since Master airscrew classic 4 are not made larger than 20 x 10, the only choice in cheaper propellers are dynathrust. I have had good luck with the 22 x 8 and 22 x 10.
Hope this helps

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Looking at using the 18-8 or 20-6 on the Ryobi's. I'm turning a 16-8 Zinger at 8000 rpm with a slightly modified Ryobi and would like to get the unloaded rpm's down to 7500.
Will be watching for other replies. Any help is appreciated.

When running RPM checks on a test stand, or when the plane is restrained, does not indicate the actual RPM's the the motor will be turning when it is in the air. The indicated RPM on a restrained motor is lower. The RPM's that the motor will see in the air will be higher and are known as the "unloaded" RPM's. This is my understanding anyway.
