Dean was fitting the spinner to the prop on his latest project today, so I shot a few pictures. With only a 40 horse cont. he is doing everything to maximize the performance that he can. For those who are not knowlegeble (including me), the idea is, as the thrust load increases the trailing tips decrease the pitch, then at cruise settings it reverts back to cruise pitch. As Dean says. This is 'experimental' is'nt it?post-546-0-39584700-1395197508_thumb.jpgpost-546-0-07073700-1395197638_thumb.jpgpost-546-0-00706700-1395197761_thumb.jpg
