Ahoy Bertho,

My mate Angus has a Darglow on his Flicka. I believe he is happy with it although he would like to adjust the pitch but for that the prop needs to go back to the factory. He's had it many years now and it's been fine. You can find Angus through www.flicka20.com

Cheers

prop noise

benjy,
as I understand , the pitch adjustment can be done easily on site, perhaps on the new product only..(normaly we do once, until we change engine or gear! )
I'm interrested by the shape on the base of the darglow prop, they can't be like the maxprop who stay open as soon you have some fooling on the blade base...look like scissors !
rgds

For those that will accept a bit more drag under sail, but prefer reliable operation the Luke props are still being manufactured.
