Quick question on prop

[Gary]

Normally does back cutting a prop reduce prop lift? Also a higher Rake prop does that do the same thing. What cost to performance does it efect.

The following are very informative.

I strongly recommend NOT to Barr-cut the trailing edge. That is a fuel boat mod and does nothing for an FE boat. Every prop I have with the Barr cut - even those done by experts - has cracked at the bottom of the relief.

Thanks Fluid. The rcboat.com site I used before but was not sure if it was to "outdated".I always like to try something different and i need to reduce some lift in the props i use.
