Prop Tech info
Will someone explain prop pitch / size to me?
Ex. 10 x 6 vers 11 X 6
I know thjis is a newbie question, but here all the comments that
you need this no you this prop.
I just need the tech propertys of props to help
Thanks

A 10-6 prop has a diameter of 10" and in one revolution would travel 6" assuming 100% efficiency.
A 11-6 prop has a diameter of 11" and in one revolution would travel 6" assuming 100% efficiency
The 10-6 is normally used on a "40" engine.
The 11-6 is normally used on a "46" engine.
Enjoy,

The second number is the pitch and relates to the distance traveled.
The first number is the diameter and is required to asob power. Actually it can get more complicated than that but that's one way of thinking of it.
On a typical .46 engine you can run a 11-6 on it. but you can also run a 10-7 or a 9-8 or a 12-5.
The larger diameter - lower pitch prop will give you more thrust and would be better on an airplane that you didn't want to fly very fast but have good vertical ability. (A 3D Fun Fly plane).
The smaller diameter prop with the higher pitch will give you more speed in a small streamlined airplane.
On the 40 - 90 size 2 strokes, the 6" pitch is usually considered normal.
On the bigger engines, you go to a 8" pitch to be normal.
