    Here ya go blowNover.
    Slightly less in diameter & just a bit more pitch. They're nice & thin & easy to balance as all the ones I've bought were almost there.
    Great props.

      That's the one I was looking at too. It's going on a CF Fantasm with a single 4092 1730kv 3d wind, running 6s. Do you think the decrease in diameter will be made up by the increase pitch? And it won't be to much pitch for my soon to be setup?

        And before I go and jump the gun. Are stainless props better then copper beryllium props. I've been using copper beryllium for a while and don't see how much different a stainless one will be. Honestly I like the look of the stainless better. But if I'm way off the mark and there is some massive diference in the two, someone set me straight and teach me the way. Lol

          It could be. 1730 is a lot of revs on 6s. I've got no idea what the hull is or what prop for that motor & hull combo. I've had no experience with either. Are you going for SAW runs?
          Someone will help you out shortly, I'm sure. Let the guys know what size & type of ESC & batteries you are running. It all makes a difference to prop choice.

            I know 6s is getting close to max unloaded rpm. But for now i will have to run 6s carefully (still licking my wounds from buying the carbon fiber hull, my wife's gonna kill me when she sees how much it's going to cost finished) but basicly it's a 41 inch carbon cat when finished it will be running a single Leo 4092 1730kv 3d on two 3s 5000 40c ran in series through a t180 esc. Everyone I talked to says the x447 would be a good prop for the setup or at least a good starting point. Is there any drawback or advantage to using stainless props. I'd think its just a look kinda thing. But I could be way wrong.

              Stainless is stronger than BerCopper and it is a bit more work to sharpen because it is harder too. I think Prop shop sells stainless props too... Not sure?

                Yes they do.
