Sport or Pattern Prop?
Can someone tell me the difference ("besides physical dimensions ) between a pattern prop and a sport prop. Pulling power, handling, etc. I was trying to find a 14x6 sport prop for a plane I'm building but could only find it in a pattern prop, I bought it and will try it but inquiring minds want to know. The LHS couldn't tell me. I know someone here will know. Thanks Gary

The difference?
Advertising......... OK, it's actually "advertising BS" |
RE: Sport or Pattern Prop?
the pitch comes to mind. a sport prop is a 12-6 whereas a pattern prop is 12-12 (approximately)

You select a prop for the performance on your airplane.......the bigger the pitch more speed but less pull, lower pitch less speed more pull.
Good flyin |
RE: Sport or Pattern Prop?
The Higher pitch of the pattern prop helps to keep the plane on a constant speed, especially in downward manuevers. There is a difference on how a plane will perform with a sport prop or a pattern prop.

dhal22 Date 8/13/2009 6:11 PM the pitch comes to mind. a sport prop is a 12-6 whereas a pattern prop is 12-12 (approximately) APC (I'm assuming) labels their props with a type (Sport, Pattern, etc) as well as a length /pitch. Their "sport" props just don't go as far up in pitch as the "pattern" model does. Fly the pitch/length that you need, and as da Rock said, disregard the marketing mumbo jumbo. Wait 'til you try to decide which Vess prop to get![sm=drowning.gif] |
