Hey guys, I've just been messing around in the workshop getting a number of props ready for the weekend (if I get the parts I need), and I have a selection of wood Vess style props, and APC's.

In my RC experience, some motors were happier swinging a prop with a lighter mass, (usually the bigger engines, above 20cc), and some preferred the heavier flywheel weight of an APC. Despite what the internet nerds have told me I never noticed much change in response, as that was always dictated by servo speed. Same engine, same servo, different prop= no change in throttle response.


Thats all well and good for RC, but in control line, I'm guessing things are going to show themselves a lot more, would I expect a change in cycling? I.e. light prop, it comes on late?

I fly off a dry lake bed for the most part, but the other field here is grass, I get the feeling that the APC will survive a bit better?

Cheers

Cool, thanks for that Dennis, sometimes I tend to dissapear up my own behind trying to determine things pesudo-scientifically ...
