Hi folks

This is one that someone might already know but it escapes me as to what they would actually do, especially as it does not appear that many others have ever used them before or since.

I will attach all the photos I have so that people can see what I am talking about....

It is the extra small daisy type, petal propeller/fan, that sits behind the main propeller in the pusher configuration.

THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO ROTATE BUT MAY BE FIXED ON AN INTERNAL SHAFT BECAUSE IN ONE PHOTO I HAVE SEEN FROM THE REAR IN FLIGHT THEY ARE STATIONARY WHILST THE PROP IS INVISIBLE BECAUSE OF THE HIGH ROTATION RATE AT RPM.

It is one of those annoying small things but it may have a useful effect we no longer know anything about...

Or it could be really basic...!!!!!!!!!!!!
