Propellor - Part 1


A Four [4] Blade propeller is a feature of the Shorts Tucano


4 Blade Blade Ray from Alisport
Dia 68'' weight 10 kg

Option C - Electro Hydraulic Power Pack
used in conjunction with a Flybox controller 

Flybox Electronic Propeller
Model EFC57-P
Controller is used by factory

This package is now in transit - it is untried on the Tucano and was chosen based on a lot of email traffic with it's weight in the lower range for a constant speed considering the extra blade. It uses a rotary joint to connect to the power pack to the propeller and while I am not a lover of these it is the only practical solution.

The FlyBox comes recommended by the factory and it's specification is impressive.

This is why they are called experimental - time will tell, will it not.
