What others say...
"I highly recommend the book Secrets Of Propeller Design by Jim Russell. He has the answers to your type of questions. The book will help you out immensely in finding what works best for you and understanding what's going on under the motor"..."That book is AWESOME! I bring it work leave it by the computer at home and read it over and over. There's so much useful info there". [James "Whipper", Prince George B.C. Canada, Oct 2009]

"Probably the best overall research I've read is for full sized props and addresses racing applications" [JB - May 2013]
