60" mono video.
Ran the big white whale today with some interesting results. The mod X482 I ran last weekend at 70 k's on rough water only managed 63 today on the calm water. What was interesting was the second X482 I modified by not removing as much blade area than the first one ran 70 k's on the calm water without loosing any RPM so should be quicker once the water gets rougher.

This next video shows what happens when the red coil decides to die. First one I've ever had let go in 15 years of running Zenoahs.

Danny do you seal the hole in the red coil? I have been sealing them since running in Salt water and never lost one yet. A drop of Epozy does it.

RE: 60" mono video.
No secrets here, both props started out as stock X482, all I've done is rounded the tips off. The leading edge is still stock and no extra pitch has been added. One prop is 78mm and the other is 75mm.
This is the first time I've ever done my own mods to props and I am achieving desired results, that in no way implies that I know what I'm doing but am prepared to have a go at it. I read a great article somewhere on the net a few days ago which led me to believe that I was taking the right approach but now I can't find it.
Cheers, Danny.
