Hi ,
Been reading this forum with lots of interest.
I have been thinking about the prop damage issue. A lot of noise on the web says if I run a stainless prop then I run risk of messing up my gears if I hit something. If I use a hub system then the hub is designed to sacrifice itself before my gears get ripped to shreds ?
There seem to be a few hubs on the market,
TurningPoint have their master guard(v 1 and v2), there is flo torq II and XHS (which are supposed interchangeable) and flo-torq III.
So if I understand things correctly, the flo torq II and XHS spin if I exceed some impact threshold and save me from major damage ?
The MasterGuard hub will distintegrate, but will it save my gears ?
What about my props ? If I am running aluminium I guess it will be bent but a stainless would survive ?
Is there anything else I should be considering ?
Thanks
James.
