Propeller test stand / Nurul Ihsan Abdul Majid

One of the difficulties face by the designer of model size radio controlled aircraft is the lack of data on propeller (and power plant) performance characteristics by the manufacturer and supplier of these equipments. As such, in sizing and selecting propeller and power plant, a large safety margin...
