Howdy,

I’m looking for a source for left handed, clockwise or push propellers. Basically a propeller that turns the opposite direction of your garden variety propeller. I’m working on a VTOL electric with twin AXI 2820/10 motors and the torque from both props going in the same direction is not helping. Acts like a helicopter.

Specifically I’m looking for something in the 11x7 range. Could be little bigger or a little smaller. Even information on someone that will custom make them I’d be interested in.

Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

Tower Hobbies at http://www.towerhobbies.com/ has pusher props

Ah, so they do. I obviously didn't search correctly before.

Thanks

I got my 14x6 props straight from www.zingerpropeller.com. They were willing to work with me since Tower Hobbies didn't carry the ones I wanted. They sanded down really well, and stayed straight and pretty stiff. I might suggest you go with a low pitch prop though. My motors generate more static thrust with a 14X5, and VTOL is all about static thrust.
By the way, are you trying for a tilt wing, tilt rotor or a straight lifting fan? The old versions of my plans are at the following thread on another forum. I came over to this one since it isn't blocked by the firewall at work...

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. Been busy. I'm actually working on kind of a report with pictures for this (my electric VTOL project). Just a little how-to, not for school or work. In the next few days I'll post pictures if you like. Not sure if this is the correct area for it though. If you have any insight let me know.

The pictures will help a lot, but it is twin AXI 2820/10 motors and the entire wing pivots, both halves with both motors. In V mode (Vertical mode) pitch is handled by moving the wing surfaces together and yaw is by moving wing surfaces together. Just a flying wing, nothing that interesting. For roll in this mode I differentiate the motor thrust. I most definetly have control over all three axis's.

My VTOL actually flies but only vertically for now. I can hover it but have to grab it by the tail to keep it steady. I'm still working out the stability obviously. Was hoping to record a little video before I put out my paper.

got'a go.

At the link below you can see a few pictures my VTOL. I'll put out something more complete a little later.
