Prop Selection Basics

[Silvertip]

Since many of the questions asked on this forum are from folks that don't understand why we need the information we do in an attempt to help, I suggest they visit the link below. There are many sites that describe propeller basics but one that does a good job of explaining this in as few a words as possible and which includes actual pictures is provided below. Read the info to help you understand the terminology (diameter, pitch, rake, and slip) and what the affects on each are on performance.
