[NSRCA-discussion] E Prop Question

[Park, Ihncheol]

Ron,

I just looked up GP and Horizon dealer websites. Lowest pitch on 15" dia is
7, 16" dia has 8 pitch as lowest available.
You will probably increase the load on the power system considerably by
moving to 16x8E.
Watt meter will show something.
I am not very good at E stuffs, so other E experts should chime in here.

I partially answered my own question.  I went back to the APC web site and
discovered more of the E props near the bottom of the list of props.  What
threw me off was that the props started out being listed by increasing
diameter.  Then they just started adding props willy nilly at the end.  I
still couldn't find any low pitch 15'' or 16" props, although I will get a
16x8E prop to try.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
