    That prop has given me some ideas for a prop for my Xzess2. It always appears to me that a 42mm prop is too small but a 45mm prop is a shade too big. Maybe a 45mm cut down to 43.5mm would do the trick. Maybe there is a better prop than an X642 that will give me more speed. The motor is a 1515 0.5Y so lots of revs, especially on 4s. Your thoughts?
    Have you thought about trying a modded P741/4?

      I see they are high lift. 4 blades and smaller diameter might be the way to go. Pitch of 2.737 sounds good.

        Egneg is a master of butchering props....I have one which is a beauty....Tell Andy to get off the booze and try FE as a cure. I should have said mangling, but butchers create a state of art.

            Paddy the lift is a bit less than the V series. I have one on my JAE 21 FE (UL1 motor and ESC) and like the performance.

              Doc, the politicians here are masters of lying to the public and work less than half the year for ungodly amounts of money and guaranteed pensions for life. I say that all public speeches should be done with a lie detector attached to all public servants.

                Well Doc you and I think alike about the pollys.

                I got your message about the boat you shipped to me and the $4,444 postage. I will Paypal you the said amount once the girls on the corner have passed over the money.
                I have been locking up TAFE and I am buggered. Long story so I wont bore you.

                  Less lift is not a problem so I am looking forward to trying it. No hurry. I have lots of other things to do. New car coming in the mail and has to be built, boats to test and planes to crash.

                      Doc, you are a clever man so you might be able to explain something that has had me puzzled for a while. It has to do with force and equals and opposites so it should be right up your alley.
                      When I am pouring milk into my milk shake container some of the milk gets enough energy to jump about 6 times higher than it has fallen and splash on my face. Naturally my first reaction is to but after a while I get to thinking how can the opposite effect of the fall be greater than the fall itself. If we can solve this problem we might be able to come up with a prop that has the 6 x opposite effect and get Chuck to mass produce them and all become stinking rich.

                        Your wet cheek suggests head too close the cup.
                        Splash back returns 6 times the fall, you say... Hmm
                        Im sure there's a simple milk saving answer... else IVF clinics would go broke...Were you firmly holding the milk carton in a downwards fashion? .. or rapidly shaking it up and down attempting greater release ? The viscosity of product also has determinate effect on discharge velocity . full fat Vs reduced fat for eg

                        I do appreciate your conceptualized business deal.. where I do the determinations and translation from milk froth to prop wash... into a 6 times more functional rotating water propulsion device.. Chuckles then mass produces these.. and you reap all the profits while mixing more milkshakes.

                        Here's a clinical question for you.
                        If I stood in front my speeding 4WD and stamped my foot hard to the ground .. would the 4WD screech to a stop ?.. or not?
                        I query this because when Im inside the car, this same action does the job very well
                        Im curious if it's an introverted or extroverted action in effect.

                              Doc, you have complicated the milk problem with scientific mumbo jumbo about 4WD's and foot stomping. I can assure you that when I am pouring the milk there is no 4WD and no foot stomping. I simply hold a standard 2 liter bottle of milk over the milkshake container and pour it in the regular way and after it gets to about 1/3 full there is always a droplet or two that lands on my cheek (face) along with at least 3 droplets on my spectacles. I simply ask "why is it so" (Julius Sumner Miller).
                              The fall of milk from the container to the milk level is probably about 5 inches max and the resulting upward movement of the said droplets is probably about 25 to 30 inches. I use inches as Chuck needs to get involved in this if we are to make some money out of this phenomenon.
                              My interest in this is not just for the pleasure one gets from rolling in money but also the pleasure one would get from seeing his boats go 6 times faster. I want you and Chuck to share in these pleasures too. Douggie would be the towel carrier naturally.
