Snaps and Prop

[wgalligan]

I have used the Clevland prop 16x11 3 blade cabon fiber and it prteformed well.

One point is that it is 1.5 oz lighter then a 17x12 APC so it should be better for snaps then any of the APC's 2 or 3 blade.
 
The plane I flew it on snapped quite well with it in either direction.

  I ordered the cleveland cylonic from a GRS Hobbies near New Orleans, I have no idea who/where the MFR is. It was discussed that the 16x11  Cleveland Cylconic was the same as a mejzlik (sp?) but its not, had a chance to compare them. The Mejzlik is a wider blade. 

  I only snapped right, if I try it again I'll go both ways.

    Hello Brian,
    Which way were you snapping? Did you try both directionns? You should expect a difference between snapping left and right with a bigger flywheel on the plane. I think that you'll find that the guys with 22" props find this phenomenon to ba a problem. Who is the company principal at Cleveland cyclonic?
    best regards,
        Dean

      Curious whether anyone else has noticed this. I was trying a 18x10 Biela on my Impact w/ 1.60YS today. Previously using a 16x11 3 blade by Cleveland Cyclonic. I notice with the Biela the plane snapped easier. 



      Anyone care to explain if this makes sense?
