Flex-o-Fold Folding Prop

[Mark Sutherland]

Just curious.... I've gotten so used to the reverse prop walk with the fixed blade prop that I almost consider it an asset when tight-space turning & maneuvering is required, as strange as that may sound.  Does anyone with the folding prop miss or regret the loss of prop walk?

Mark,  the flex o fold does have propwalk...very similar to 3 blade fixed, but with more control. This prop, unlike many other folding props, has a real bite on the water. The blades are heavy, have a lot of shape at the leading edge, and a thick chord. This helps give predictable propwalk...and also the ability to power up and get a bite in reverse for steerage if needed. It is actually quite a nice piece of hardware that improves every aspect of performance.

Ha! could be why they call them "screws" pitch on threads is in inches...  Thanks for the education!
