What's This?!?!

[AndyBrown]

I have one for you Sir,24" and 28" mod vp electric with Inboard and outboard power on 4s(medium to high rpms). Any pointers where you think I should start with one of your props?

I'm still learning about electric power. It would be easier for me if you could tell what props are working best for you now.

Tom,

We are working on a prop list. Hopefully we will get it up on the site soon.

Hi Andy,

When you do get a prop chart together is it possible to post that on your web page with a link here to it? I figure that after all the posting people make about the props that the list will get lost in the shuffle. It would be very easy to reference a page on cmdi.com for all the current props without having to read a whole thread.

Thank You,

Paul

I made two new props today.
The first prop is a 3874 4 blade. With a 1.9 pitch/dia.ratio and 15 degrees of rake it may have some interesting results for a .21 rigger.

The pitch is about like a 1450 with 3.2" cup. The diameter is small but with 4 blades there is plenty of blade area to push a .21 rigger or fast electric rigger.

Also made a 3457 4 blade. I designed it for the .15/.18 RTR hydro. This one has a 3/16" bore. We may try it on our stock ProBoat hydro this weekend. If it looks good I'll make it, or whatever is most suitable for that boat, with an1/8" bore.

Hi Andy , could you send me a price on a cncd 1655 for 45 rigger.

I don't have a 1655 equivelant yet.

I still have a back log for props. As soon as I catch up and get all of the feedback information organized I will post a full list.

Good boating!

Tested a variety of props this weekend on a couple of different boats. I didn't have all that I wanted but I thought I would try what I had where I thought they may have some potential.

Dad's Scale (CMB .67) with AB Black Pipe on Velasco Hull.

Tried 5074 and 5077C. Had good RPM. Seemed faster but needed more lift

Then tried 5083A. Had crazy RPM with enough lift but boat cavitated in turns. Speed was okay. Overall the boat just didn't like the prop as far as smooth running goes.

C Mono (Mac .67) with new AB 3 piece pipe on Aeromarine Titan

Running with Stryker and Seaducer Gas Cats, some wind and little bit of chop

Tried 5077 (spec'd for 45 Monos but decided to try it on the .67) first time in the water with .67 mono set-up config for heat racing. Literally screamed! Was lose with Gas boats and chop but manageable. Good enough to consider it a 2 lap contender. 6 Lap 1 mile record boat...No problem. Unanimously impressed all who saw it. I then tried the 5074C. The boat was a little slower but more stable. I should have tried the 5083A I had but didn't think about it until now. It could definitely run more prop as I could creep up to the start West Coast style and slam the throttle for instant response. I had no radar gun but judging from the Rs, the prop pitch, ride attitude and my experience with the boat it was probably somewhere in between 65 and 70 mph.

Here is a list of props and purposes taken from this string.

3457A/4 – Ready-To-Run 15. Hydroplane, .12 Riggers

3657A - .12 Outriggers

3857A/4 - .21 Sport Hydros, Vees, Cats and Tunnels

3859C/3 - (Average pitch + 2.35" T.E. = 2.8") Similar to X442 Sport Hydros, Cats and Monos

3861

3874/4 - .21 Rigger

3861A/4

4569/2 and 3 - .21 Outrigger

4576 - .21 Outriggers

4773/2 and 3 - .21 Riggers and .45 Tunnels (3 blade)

4773A/3 - .45 Mono

4773B - .21 Outrigger, .45 Mono

5074C - .45 Mono. Sport 40

5077B/3 - .45 Mono

5082/2 and 3

5083A – Sport 40., .45 Mono

5096C/3

6535B/3 - Gas Sport Hydro

6530C/3 - Gas Cat

6720C/3 - Gas Monos

Feel free to cut and paste this in a word document and save on your desktop or print out for your reference until a formal list is prepared. This is what I have done and it has served me well in the mean time.

thanks for the update,

 

[Buckshot]

AB,

Have you cut any 21 outrigger props yet?

I'd like to try out a few when you do.

Regards,

-Buck-

 

[Richard Dahlheimer]

thanks for the update,

Would like to know if anyone is having any luck with these new props on a .21 rigger? If so which props. Thanks, Richard D

 

[Andy Brown]

No 21 rigger props yet.

I just ran a bunch of 45mm, 47mm and 50mm props so those of you who have had any of these on order, they will be arriving to you soon. (Have lefts & rights of all the 45mm through 50mm props now.)

While I was running these props I did some work on two different 21 rigger props.

One will be close to a 1445 cupped 3.3" which is a very popular race prop for many.

The other is 48mm and is close to an H-7 or trimmed 1450 cupped around 3.6"

They are two blades and should cover a fairly wide group of 21 rigger/engine combos.

Today/tonight I'm running off Medium rudder assemblies. We had a large backlog for those, so again, those who have been waiting they will arrive soon.

These newest medium bracket assemblies are machined from 7075-T6, so they will be stroger than past units.

And yes.....I'm making progress on engine parts too!

P.S. Roger, The 5096B may work well on that scale boat. I'll have those ready to ship out shortly.

what prop do you have that is close to the x450/3 blade

aurbin

The 5074C/3 and the 5077B/3. These are what Roger reported on above. They are working well on many different 45 mono set-ups.

 

[Jef]

Andy, please is there any progress in my bulk prop orders??.

Time is also running in Europe (Belgium) and I am not so young anymore. Still waiting for more than a ONE year.

Please, I want to place a second bulkorder, but you will understand that I have some doubts. I must also keep the promises to the guys of our club that have placed sub-orders.

Wait for any news, from you or the girls.

Thanks.

Jef.

Andy... just wanted to reiterate that I was using those props with the .67. You know the same or similar set-up we ran at the straight-lines in LA a few years back. I ran the 5074 with the Mac .45 and the new AB .45 3-piece pipe a few years weeks back. The speed was okay (not awesome maybe 15/16 sec/laps) good enough to run with the pack I guess but really I am comparing it to the 13 to 14 second NAMBA record laps the boat has acheived in the past which it does with the Prather 240 at 3.8" and/or 240 at 4.7". It could also be because be that my .45s are tired because they surely not spinning up that high now. (hint! hint!)

However, with the .67 and th 5077 the boat had lots of RPM and awesome speed as I mentioned before still with more to go. I am sure it can between 11 and 12 second laps easy.

 

[Sean Bowf]

Been off-line for about 5 months...are these props still being made?? Broke a blade off my 5077 this last weekend...

Price?? Availability of 5077 and 5074??
