Looking for any feedback from those that have been down this road. Any help is appreciated.IMG_0054.jpg

New Props?

Re: New Props?
My experience with props has been that if you're still running around on 40 year old dynajets or whatever, then there's a decent shot that going with one the new high-skew designs with more blades will produce a noticeable performance and fuel burn improvement (usually at the cost of a knot or so of top end because they're more efficient at producing thrust but slighter higher drag). But if you already have Rolla's on there then somebody already did that and you aren't likely to see a whole lot of improvement.

Re: New Props?
Rollas are among the best, not sure what you re trying to do.
