Unusal Props

Wed Nov 17 09:29:17 AKST 2004

Hi Bob, 

    I remember when the first APC props hit the pits the primary reaction
was at how ugly they were. A few guys painted theirs. But then we saw that
they gave you about 1/3 better vertical and all the other props were
history. I still have an MK 11X8 prop. When it came out we thought the 8
pith was huge. I kept it because with it's 30 maple laminations it is a a
very pretty prop. Except that the finish has lost it's gloss after 18 years.

Mostly the Rev Ups were used because they made our motors SING!!!  I mean
FAST...LOUD...but never went anywhere.
    We didn't know better.

Then came MK and Asano....
Then this maverick APC thing....Boys, we remember when THOSE first hit the
pits, don't we??????????

True  It might be that.
I don't think I've ever seen a prop labeled as to how many blades.
Interesting thought
I like you're "tlarld"

the prop markings are like this
          2
      12  O  5
        REV-UP

with the "O" being the hole in the middle.

It's times like this I wish the "list" could handle pictures. <G>
