Hey guys
I know this is the dumbest question ever and maybe the answer is no but still I am asking
Can we reduce the pitch of the prop? I know that we can reduce the size of the props but I wanted to ask about the pitch
Thanks for looking into the thread and taking the time for reading :hatsoff:
yes, you can but accuracy is the question.
why would someone do that? prop is a precision item .....other than balancing there is not need to tamper a prop.
On the other hand people have flown with one fin of propeller....by proper balancing.
Darshan, what exactly do you mean by reducing? Is it changing the prop to a lower pitch one?

Yes sir
You can use variable pitch propeller with variable pitch unit .

You can definitely change the pitch of a prop by changing to a prop with a lower pitch, here's what you will achieve...
- Reduced Air speed
- Reduced load on the motor ( increased flying time ) .
If I have got your question right, That is
Regards
dear friends .... Darshan has asked it simple....
As we can cut the size of prop can the same be done for pitch.
N if yes then How?
Thanks for making it clear sir...
no need for so much head scratching
heat the root of each prop blade , twist the blades to a lesser pitch by "andaz" ....of course you will have to sacrifice a few props till you get the hang of it
I have done it many times with rubber power peck polymers props.
By the way - if you cut down a prop(reduce the dia) you are effectively increasing its pitch.
Cutting props seems to be getting popular in mini quad racing with the emergence of 'bullnose' props. I believe they provide better performance.

Darshan root is the point where the blades are attach to the center part...

;D
Instead buy a new one. Its not worth it.
