Slow Fly Props

[BTCat]

Rookie question: What are Slow Fly Props good for?

[Solitaire]

Yeah, this rookie would like to know the poop on that, too.

I snagged this from a Wattflyer post:

The basic difference is the slowflyer prop is wider.
The blade chord is much wider than a regular E prop.

This allows the prop to get more bite at low speed, more thrust, without going fast.

The slowflyer props require more power to turn them the same speed as an E prop.

So you will draw more current with the slowflyer prop.
The slowflyer props usually have an RPM restriction as well.

So the E props are a little better for higher speed planes.
The slowflyer props are better for the 3D types that are slow and a lot of thrust.

Great reply Gabe. That says it all.
