Title: prop question Post by: Darshan for multirotors on July 26, 2015, 11:31:55 AM Hey guys
I know this is the dumbest question ever and maybe the answer is no but still I am asking Can we reduce the pitch of the prop? I know that we can reduce the size of the props but I wanted to ask about the pitch Thanks for looking into the thread and taking the time for reading :hatsoff: Title: Re: prop question Post by: rastsaurabh on July 26, 2015, 12:22:10 PM yes, you can but accuracy is the question.
why would someone do that? prop is a precision item .....other than balancing there is not need to tamper a prop. On the other hand people have flown with one fin of propeller....by proper balancing. Title: Re: Post by: v2 eagle on July 26, 2015, 12:38:24 PM Darshan, what exactly do you mean by reducing? Is it changing the prop to a lower pitch one?

Yes sir Title: Re: prop question Post by: aditya on July 26, 2015, 02:01:13 PM You can use variable pitch propeller with variable pitch unit .

- Reduced Air speed - Reduced load on the motor ( increased flying time ) . If I have got your question right, That is Regards Title: Re: prop question Post by: rastsaurabh on July 26, 2015, 07:47:23 PM dear friends .... Darshan has asked it simple....
As we can cut the size of prop can the same be done for pitch. N if yes then How? Title: Re: prop question Post by: Darshan for multirotors on July 26, 2015, 08:14:48 PM Thanks for making it clear sir...

heat the root of each prop blade , twist the blades to a lesser pitch by "andaz" ....of course you will have to sacrifice a few props till you get the hang of it I have done it many times with rubber power peck polymers props. By the way - if you cut down a prop(reduce the dia) you are effectively increasing its pitch. Title: Re: prop question Post by: SK1701 on July 26, 2015, 08:44:42 PM Cutting props seems to be getting popular in mini quad racing with the emergence of 'bullnose' props. I believe they provide better performance.

Its not worth it.
