Default Wing tips and prop tips!

It sure did! That's one of the ones I designed for Tom Aberle and JeFF Lo. If you think those tips were rad, you should see the ones I designed for Tony Higa's racing Pitts, my new three-blade, and the way-out tips on two Reno T-6 racers. And no patented T-6 noise. With these props a T-6 is no longer the most efficient way to convert av fuel to noise!
The new Boeing designs now feature a longer triangular extension. I think the 737-800 or -900 as well as the 787 have them. No more turned up tips.

Paul,

(Sorry for straying off topic here). But for the eternally curious, would you mind sharing a few pics of those wild props you designed for the T-6 racers and Tony Higa?

George

Looks like the pictures didn't come through, elippse. Can you try again?

Default Tips, wing and prop

"Guess I don't understand the process yet. I went on tinypic and downloaded the pix, got the URL, and tried to put them on the forum, but just a frame came up with the little red x in the upper corner. So what did I do wrong?

Go to where you uploaded your image and right click on the image itself. Click "Properties", then copy the address. On the posting box, click on the mountain picture and paste the address for your image. Result will link directly to the image:

As above, only first click the thumbnail you want to put up, then when it expands, right click and choose "copy image location", then paste that into the window the yellow sun icon opens up.

Paul,

Are these high performance prop designs suitable and/or appropriate for use in everyday flying, and if so, are they going to be available at some point to the retail marketplace? Thanks.

Hi, Mike! We're getting a little off-subject here, but I design props for experimentals. Please contact me at elippse@sbcglobal.net. Thanks! Paul

Default move to propellers

I thought it would be better to move any propeller discussion to the propeller section and I posted a new thread called Rad props and I tried to insert an image but when I put in the URL, all I got was the URL printed on the thread.
