Hi Dean,
What a great answer, Thanks. I'm glad I asked the prop question on this forum, all the replies have been very helpful. As you, and others, have said in the past: "....there is much more power to be gained in our Elec. setups with more prop experimentation and developement...."
In ans. to your ?, Your right, when I TH back to around 80%, with my Aeronaut 10 x 6 prop, the battery draw was only 2,400 mAh. I am flying now around an 85% average and drawing around 2,700. With my present JMP set up my last lap time is exactly the same as my 1st lap time. I am very happy with the performance I have now, but like everyone else, I would like to fly as slow as possible and still have the same turn ability, and great line tension I enjoy now. :-)
Your info. will be a big help to me in getting to the above goal of slow and in control. I will start experimenting over the next few weeks. I will begin keeping a flight log with prop size, mAh used, RPM, lap times etc. I'll post my results when I get enough data, if anyone is interested.
I am still not sure what to do with my JMP timer if I try and use the heli governor mode? I also have a Ztron timer, but I can't seem to adj. the microscopic pot to get 100% power. Should I just set the JMP to 100% (with one of the suggested props) and NOT use any of the ramp-up settings? This might be worth trying?
Also, you mentioned many size props in your post, but not many brand names? Are you using all Bolly CF props? Or?

This detail is important to us who are trying to get the right set up by using your tall, broad, shoulders to stand on! ;-)
Thanks again for all your help, and taking some of your valuable time to share your info. with the rest of us. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by every one. :-)
I wish the Bob and Dean Team the best of luck in 2007. A 2007 Nats win for Electric would be shocking for some, but not totaly unexpected by us! :-)
