Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade Supposedly, they are, but none of us know for sure. Hell, they still may not know for sure!

Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade Currently have a couple props sent off to have prototypes made to finalize. KP is hoping to have them back in 3-4 weeks to finalize.

Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade Cool, I'll be curious to see how it performs compared to the original design. I may have to switch mine out if its significant.

Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade Buddy of mine has a gd with the 3 blade on it and it seems to wad up with grass bad. Is that the design of the gd or the prop? My gt didn't wad up with grass as bad. Anyone running pd 3 blade through any grass?

Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade He tested the first 2 blade Brian sent him. This is the newest one that has been worked. Just waiting on it right now. The first one was tit for tat on the 3 blade.

Re: Gen 3 PD prop upgrade I'm anxious to hear how the new "wonder prop" performs. I might start to consider a new motor if it's really all that...
