E-Props

[stuartbw]

Went from a NR SR107 Three blade 72 inch one to the Eprop 3 blade 71 inch and gained about 14 mile per hour on my Super Sport S7 but I feel i lost a lot of take off power. Climb was about the same. The NR props definitely pull way harder off the line and slow you down way faster than the Eprop, so for STOL I think the NR prop is better.

Now I swapped the Eprops for their 77 inch version (195CM) and I retained most of the speed I had gained with the shorter blades and I feel I got most of the take off performance back. I'm climbing at about 1100ft a min when tested for a full minute from 2000 to 3000ft. (This is with just me and half tanks).

I'm happy with how light the new prop is, I still think the NR prop is the way to go for STOL stuff...which is not entirely my mission.

What motor are you running? I'm getting an eprop and trying to decide on the length...
