Hi Readers

I'm building a Miss Budweisser clone (700mm length) and am getting
close to giving it run on the water and I need some help with prop
selection.

What are the pro's & con's for props with lift versus those that dont.
(I'm guessing those that have lift get the transom out of the water
quicker??

What are the benefits & pitfalls for 2 & 3 blade props (assuming the
latter is available for smaller engines).

Manufacturer names would be handy as well please.

FYI I'm running an OS25FSR (yerr I know its a heap of 5h1t but its all
I have) & its tuned piped. It has a 3/16 flexi shaft through an octura
strut / rubber combo.

Any wisdon shared will be greatly appreciated.

cheers :)

I am no guru on props but have heard from the more senior members in the
club that the 2 blade will give more straight line speed, and the 3
blade will give more stability in the corners. :D There are alot of
manufactures of model props, you should Google- Propshop, Octura,
Prather, Voodoo. When you get a feel from the info from these sites for
the size you may need, get somone from a local club who has a selection
and just try them out. You should go a size or 2 under with a 3 blade
because of the incresed surface area. Hope this helps, cheers MUD.
