Any body tried these props
« on: February 27, 2015, 11:39:17 AM »
New prop offering from tower, (Graupner Propeller E-Props )  in RH and LH rotation. Anybody tried these????...a little pricey...but if they lighter than the APC electrics, maybe worth it??

Thanks

Carl,

Those are the ones, Chris sorry for not providing the link.

I may have to order a few and try them, I was concerned that they may weigh more. I like the APC props...just looking to reduce swinging mass if I can.

I have also thought about the wooden Vox props from Precision Aerobatics, Link below. I have seen these on some of our RC guys airplanes...they look very nice and are pretty light. The only issue they do not make reverse rotation....but the more I fly reverse rotation....it comes with its own issues as well HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> I cant believe I just said that....some of my models fly great with reverse rotation....but some ...i.e. my modified SIG Chipmunk....just does not like it as much....still working through trimming issues....all summer  n~ n~ n~ n~

Tim
I have seen those props but not used them.
Who is the importer here in the US for them.
The site seems to be in AUSTRALIAN Dollars

Those Graupners look like typical quad copter props to me.
