P47N's with the paddle prop blades had a high decel rate when you chopped the throttle on that big old corncob motor


Good info on earlier techniques on the '38 and '47.. Had not heard of that before <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

I've wondered about the history in the paddle prop on "Rare Bear" I've seen run at Reno many times.. Huge monsters.. makes a really low frequency sounds on passes... reckon any kin to P47N paddle?

Good video and sound when it was a 3 blade.. went to a 4 blade paddle later...

looks like it's using boil off cooling, maybe for oil....
