CNC Props?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Have any of you guys tried the CNC props out there? I just bought 50 samples of assorted sizes and I'm pretty impressed by the strength of the aluminum blades. They are supposedly heat treated magnalium 7075.

I have used some of them.
I run a 43mm on my Elam with a UL1 motor and it runs very well.
Basically it runs the same as a 42x55.

I have a few others I have yet to try but very impressed with them and think they are much better then carbon props as they are thinner and stronger.

Another thing is you can cup them if you wanted to where a carbon props obviously you can't.

Im thinking about trying one eventually. They look nice.

I read they dont need to be balanced since they are billet and accurately machined. I do question how accurately they are machined since these have to be flipped over in the machining process. I also am curious to how smooth they actually are since a ball end mill is used to make these.

How much power are you puting through them Steven?

thanks for the info.

Jim I havent run any yet. i plan on trying some of the smaller size 2 blades first.

I have used a couple Cnc props and like em alot. They are light and seem to accelerate better than octura. I run a 444 on my geico with a 3674 1400kv and seaking 130 amp HV and it screams on 6s. Runs super cool too.
