Prop notes

[Baxter Walton]

As I started looking in my old race notes I came across this prop info, I used it to tune props that I got from other sources, or just to experiment on my own, along with a Allen Elzer cupping tool I had great success. My fastest prop ever was a Texas cut prop, faster then A.B. 1440's at that time, and as I recall it was a JG prop with 3.2 pitch. With the new 14.5mm motors these days more testing is in the making. Hope this helps those who want to try different things.

By the way does anyone know who the author of this paper is?

Thanks to Marty, I learned a great deal from his research.

 

[TimothyJones]

I believe he has something to do with engine analizes software as well.

The rcboat.com tech papers are serious reading.Brian Callahan's notes (with MD) are very interesting indeed.....

 

[Baxter Walton]

indeed they are, I have read all books and papers, and applied it to racing one way or another, I love Finch's stuff also.
