I can't do anything about the RPM, but it lets me know how many fingers I need to keep crossed.
lol your a grumpy old a..hole aren't you lol 3-5 every race i just go off what people post on her grumpy. the enduro there was according to the post 5 props lost the parker race the post said at least three boats lost there props...so if you didn't see it , i guess it didn't happen , didn't know you personally kept track of every boat every prop every shaft at every race, no wonder your grumpy thats a shitty job to have lmaoQuote:

Only gauge I have is oil pressure and that only get's looked at during warmup and parade laps, I should probably hookup a big idiot light. I've thought about getting one of those RacePack deals, when setup right you can get a lot of usefull info afterwards.Quote:

When you can explain how the you shape the blade increases the strength, you get back to me with that info. Its still 2 ears welded to a fucking hub and sent out for heat treat. How the CNC makes them stronger I would like to hear, GeniusQuote:

Grose props don't have welded ears. They are from a forging. Maybe I'm missing something but that's straight from Joey and Ron grose's mouth. I spent a week down there with Scarlata and saw the box of forgings.Quote:

I paid 150.00 unseen off E bay, What does a Grose prop cost, and might fail after 2 weekends??
I don't care if its carved by hand with a hacksaw and file, if it only lasts 2 weekends, I try something else.
I the forging is a stronger root/hub, how does that help the rest of the blade. Are you suggesting the forging is stronger everywhere else over milled plate. Are does the ONLY thing it eliminates is the weld?
Sorry but GN7 is WRONG on the welded ear portion about Grose props! Forged one piece props are far stronger than a prop that has welded ears. I'm not saying a Grose prop has never cracked, but it's proven to be stronger than the standard Radiance or menkins.Quote:

Many conventionally manufactured props have gone years and years without throwing blades or parts of the blade, So to say something is stronger because it is perceived that it is impossible for it to throw the whole blade, is a bit pointless if there are reports of these props throwing parts of the blade.Quote:
