We literally design all our planes around the propeller that's how important this is. Most guys get a plane cause it looks cool and then just slap on any old prop they have laying around. That is the fastest way to smoke your motor or at best have a very poor performing airplane thats hard to fly.
Your propeller is like tires on a car, its what actually makes your plane MOVE! If you put monster truck tires on a sports car you are going to overwork the engine and smoke it! If you put sports car tires on a monster truck you are going to under work the engine and very poor performance.
Look, details, specs, and all the book knowledge stuff is not my favorite thing, BUT learning the right info can save you hundreds of dollars real quick. What you need to master first is READING PROPS!
On a 6x4 prop lets say, the first number is always the length (its 6inches long) and the second is the pitch or the bite (in this case its 4). Certain props are best for certain applications. For example a 6x4 prop is perfect for an average speed jet and a 10x3.8 prop is very good for a 3D slow flying plane.
You then find a motor that will meet this prop. Then a ESC to meet the motor, and a battery to fuel all that. So your order of importance is this, now look close at the order:
Prop --> Plane --> Motor --> ESC --> Battery
Most guys get into trouble cause they get some cool looking plane, buy a motor and ESC that looks about right, grab whatever prop is laying around and find the cheapest battery they can get. This why your motor and ESC has burned out and your battery has puffed up already!
I'd tell you more here but there is alot to it and you really need to understand it. Get our ebook it will help out alot. Its been a best seller for us. Worst case scenario if its not what you where looking for just email me personally (I will see your email within 1-2 days) and we will send you your hard earned money back. Based on the feedback we have gotten over the last year, I know it will be very helpful to you!
