    Prop repair

    What can be fixed on a prop? I have found a decent deal on a bravo but one of the ears has a small crack in the tip. What do i need to be careful about buying.

    I agree with 21XDC, but I'm also curious what is a decent deal. Reach out to Mark Croxton about the repair. Also ask about his Razor series props, as I suspect you might be able to get a new prop for close to the same cost.

    Razors are cheaper and slower from what I’ve been told but also allot more consistent and durable.

    You don't buy a Bravo1 or Bravo1 style propeller for speed... Speed can be subjective between any two props. Too many variables to compare. There can be 3 mph difference between 2 identical props.... So if you get a good stock Razor4 XL and a poor Bravo1, you could easily be mistaken by your comment. They run very similar, It's hard to tell the difference.

    I never meant to insinuate you were ignorant.... Sorry if you thought that. No harm meant.
