More to that is the pitch is different at different spots on the blade..so pitch can end up being an "average" pitch across the blade.

Added cup decreases slip but does not add pitch...but obviously that pulls RPM down versus a non-cupped version. There are MANY variables that make one prop act a certain way and another different. Like James said its why we all have a few different props and we've all gone through MANY to get to the props that suit our needs.

We also have the guys from Hydromotive as members here...they may chime in and straighten us all out.


This Jekyll and Hyde routine is captivating entertainment:

Dok, I'm compelled to comment that was very nice, polite, insightful, offering alternative sources beyond your experience/opinions. Gold star performance.
You get your meds script refilled since last weeks cranky pants episodes?...hormones re-balanced?
....must be Jimbo's week on the rag: ffs.. i dont give one fuck. i'm not sure why i was commenting... maybe just to be nice.....

You reap what you sow around here. If you want play nice we play nice. If you want to act like a child...I'm game for that too.
