1629.0. "Prop source info wanted" by 35989::BLUMJ () Wed Sep 28 1994 12:50

    I am looking for a source for large diameter, low pitch props such
    as 17x5 and 18x4.  The traditional companies(APC,Topflite,Rev-UP, etc)
    do not have these available.
    
    I was wondering if any foreign sources might be available(ie Britian).
    
    Anybody know a source?
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jim

1629.1	small diameter bigger pitch less noise	POLAR::WHITTALL	`Fri Sep 30 1994 17:44`	2
	Why the large diameter? Why not just use a smaller diameter and bigger pitch ie: instead of 17x4 use 16x6 or 16x8.

	The plane that I want these props for is exclusively used to tow gliders. The large prop provides more thrust at low speed, which allows the plane to get off the ground quicker.
