Ok, it has been confirmed that the mould is for 4D X 2.5P and they will be moulding us props in about 2 weeks.

Black for now as the grey resin is a special order but, the next time we order other prop sizes in grey, will have those also moulded in grey.

Woo Hoo!  I'm in for five or six! Or more...

Bernie, when next you talk to the manufacturer, please pass along my/our thanks for making these things for us. It'd be nice to let him know how us little people really appreciate the work he does for us on such a small margin item.

Steve (the owner of P-Plastics) knows that we appreciate his support.

He will run a few 1,000; whereas we have to take 1,000 at once.

You guys said that the prop will be a "hot seller" so, when available please show this by buying them Smile

We have quite a few "hot products" sitting here that we were told would sell well and .... we still have enough to last lifetimes lol

Fantastic News Bernie!!!!  Small Cox Logo  Small Cox Logo  Small Cox Logo 

This is a very very rare prop that most of us had given up on ever seeing in production again.
The prop was fine tuned by Cox back in the day to help hop up the PEE WEE and TD .020's
That prop was an absolute must for a line of various PEE WEE powered CL planes allowing the development of a whole new world of miniature performance flying planes sold during that time.  Lable its significance when setting up the web page for it.

I too will be buying bulk lot of them for .020 CL and RC planes I have hoarded over 10 Pee Wee's and have 8 TD's. With the advent of the light weight micro RC gear the humble Pee Wee and TD .020 have been back in action! What they had lacked was the right prop specially made for performance flying being flexible and durable enough to last a reasonable amount of ground bashing. This prop will inspire new creations and revive old sluggish flying ones.  Clapping

Just recently picked up an 020. Still looking for a couple more. Since I was planning on picking up some new parts, I would be interested in these props too.

T minus 10 and counting I did a design build for a CL TD .020 racer and had to settle with a 2p prop the 4D x 2.5P should make this one rip. I have only flown it a handful of times waiting to source something with more pitch to handle more wind!

By black plastic do you mean flexible as opposed to grey competition?

Yes, the classic "double tough" flexible, as opposed to the grey "competition" version.

The grey, nylon-filled, resin needs to be bought in a quantity that is bigger than the planned production run, so we will mould the grey ones next time we do a production run of another prop size in grey. If the black ones sell that is ...

Here's some pics on a few various engines with double tuf blacks. Bernie good idea with competition grey should work great for the reed .049's. and strong enough for the TD's 10% nitro.
If used with the throttle sleeve should get fast crisp throttle response.

It would be helpful if the pictures showed the actual product?
To me the images of the "grey" 4.5x4 are identical to the black 5x4 props...?

All our pictures are of the actual product.

However, the "grey" compound that the moulder used is identical to the one Cox used but the manufacturer now uses a darker dye. Yes, they are almost black but the difference becomes visible when held beside a black prop.

If we list them as "grey" they are guaranteed the stiff competition version.

Speaking of, we have a small quantity of OEM grey 6x3 props for sale here:

Not too much difference but it's also they way we edit the raw picture files.

By the same token, colour does not matter; it's the material that the props are moulded with Smile

Oh, that explains why they looked so similar then... lol!

Thank you for the offer, I will include that in the next order. Smile

Another question, do you have any recommended rpm limits for these props?

Probably around 40,000 RPM with the compound we used.

Don't let the message on the hub scare you. Back in time they were made with a weaker compound.

Bernie, you said you noted the .049 reed engine does 20k +  with the 4.5x4  
Out of the teflon, copper, crystal clear plastic, stainless steel and mylar reeds which reed material has been shown to helps provide the highest rpm?

Thank you, also let us know when the 4x2.5 props are ready for sale.
