electric 3D props

please....whats the best type of Prop for 3D, e.g Prop Hanging, Coarse pitch/Fine pitch 8

For 3D type flying you want to aim for a high thrust, and relatively low pitch speed, and that implies using a large diameter, and fine (small) pitch prop, turning relatively slowly.

For a given engine speed (or power) a small diameter/coars pitch prop will give lots of pitch speed, but a low static thrust. A larger diameter/fine pitch prop will give lots of thrust, at the expense of pitch speed. As with all things aeronautical, it is a compromise!

Cheers

thanks Andy regards john

What model is it for John and what are you currently using?

Mark...its the Fury and 11x6 thanks john

Ahh ok, from memory then the motor you have the 11x6e is the right prop you could go to a 11x4e but in my experiance of these medium size motors they like the pitch,

So your on the right prop mate
