Hobby King 40mmx5mm folding spinners @ ~450 Watts?
Has anybody pushed there HK spinners to 450 Watts or beyond?
I have a 40mm x 4mm shaft at 270 watts and im very comfortable with that but what about a 40mm x 5mm shaft 450 Watts input? That particular product is a bit short on for detail in the reviews. Im going to use 15x10" aeronaut blades @ ~ 5,500 rpm but the $50 for the spinner makes me cringe a bit when HK has spinners at 1/10 of the price. https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...idproduct=5564 They have the obvious draw back of 2mm bolts that would have to be replaced leaving less material in the arms. Can't hurt to ask right? |

I used my 40/5mm spinner at 500 watts without *spinner issues*. The problem I ran into was that I drilled the hole too large on the prop and eventually tossed a blade, luckily while airborn. I have now down-graded to Graupner 9x5 blades and everything is in harmony at 300 watts, but the spinner is great and begs for more!

What about an MPJet spinner?

I should just man up and buy the aeronaut. The cost of any damage loosing a prop will do wont be less that the price difference. The MP looks nice but I dont get along with e-clips http://www.airstrike.com.au/Folding%20Props.htm |
