Hey all,

Thanks so much for the help and information! I read through HPA and intend to go back and review it frequently as it has given me a lot of insight!

Mr. Gowen, I came across your winding strategy on the forum, which is to wind 70% at 7x relaxed length. Quick question about that: when I am coming in with the last 30%, should I aim to keep the torque constant?
I also came across discussion about the use of the flaring propeller. I have a couple of those right now, unmodified from FAI, but of course they don't have the carbon rods that you use for the flaring propeller you showed. Can they still be effectively used to achieve the same effect, if I sand them down enough?

Thanks,
Michael Mu
