Paul,
Are your props designed for all out racing or are these designs suitable for ordinary use?

Have you designed a prop for RVs?

I'm interested in learning how your props perform compared to others.

Not an expert here, but from what I understand: (a) Paul's props are designed for what you want ... 'ordinary' included; (b) I know of at least one on a RV (RV6).

I'm wondering if Paul can give us some independent data on that RV with the prop on it. We've heard for a number of years about the remarkable efficiency of your props, and I thought the goal fo the RV installation was to see what sort of data would result....

Cheers,
Stein

Default Absolutely...

...and if there was any way to do a CS prop for a -10, my hat would be in the ring quickly. Makes you wonder what the P-51 could have done with one instead of that paddle.

Best,

Default tip flutter

What keeps that thin narrow tip section of the prop from fluttering or flexing? What is the max RPM? It looks like they are pretty small diameter.
