Matt Carlton Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'm pondering a Loaded Dice 2 as an electric conversion (I know, but site restrictions etc) and it seems to have an incredible amount of side thrust. Now, far be it for me to argue with Mr Westrop, but is it necessary? I have never seen that amount before so I just wondered.

Nigel R Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 terry probably used a 12x12 which is large pitch, so I'd imagine it needed a fair amount of right thrust. should be around 2 deg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Plan says 3 to 5 degrees and the picture below seems at least that. I was thinking something more in the 10" pitch range, possibly 3 blade for some clearance on my grass strip.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Model will confirm how much it needs when test flown, like Nigel start points 2-3 degrees for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
