Prop size

Postby Supercubber95 » Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:26 pm

Here goes- What difference does it make in a planes flying ability when you put on different size propellers? Other than weight of course. What would happen if I was to put a 9" prop on a 16" wingspan plane? Thanks.
Who put an "S" in lisp? :P

The torque would change dramatically. the bigger prop would spin slower, causing the plane to want to roll counter-clockwise,(that is, with guillow props, they all spin clockwise)
The P-38 is arguably the best... Forget that, it is THE BEST fighter of world war two, and is epically AWESOME!
