Prop Tuning For Performance

[10gauge]

Are there any good references, theory, or pictures on how to tune props?

Is the Speedmaster Prop Pitch Gauge the next useful tool?

I've figured out on my own how to sharpen and balance props with a prop balancer. I'd like to take it a step further and learn how to fine tune pitch, detongue, cup, etc. I have a decent fine industrial arts background and a steady hand from doing surgery all day - I wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. (No pun intended).

I hear the Grimracer L series are good hydro props.

Here is another link with good info, definitions, and examples.

Thanks RPC1... These are good links. It will be interesting to see how different these modifications will be over stock props.
