Folding props?

Post by Jwood1 »

Any PDQ 32 LRC owners out there with folding or feathering props? I'm wondering what your experience has been?

Hey, very old post so I assume the answer is no longer of interest, but just in case: I bought feathering props from KiwiProp, and have been VERY happy with them. They give me a full knot of extra speed in low wind (harder to tell when it's really blowing), and they provide good thrust in both forward and reverse. This is my second season with them and am still very happy.

Hi Mike
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a 32 LRC? Where are you located? Always good to meet other LRC owners as we are a rare breed.
I have since installed feathering Max Props. Like you, I have been very happy with them.
