          If you are just starting then sharpening and balanceing is enough to learn and do right. De-tongueing is good but tweaking the cup and more can get pretty tough.

            You are right, it gets very complacated, just doing resurch for now,
            i'll play later with cupping ect.. When i get the rest down and extra money to buy more props. Not to mention additional tools required.

              Here is a link to RCU that has a lot of info and links if you haven't seen it.

              RC Boats General Discussion - Prop sharpening & other tips for new boaters - Do I need to sharpen and balance my new prop? The question of whether props need to be sharpened and balanced, and how it should be done comes up often. The answer to the first question, should they be balanced, is absolutely yes! Prop

                  Theres far more in the link Jeff posted then meets the casual observer. Props arent black majic. They are a concerted effort. Understanding them begins with an understanding of the basic mechanics. Its science. Educate yourself.
