Now where to post my question ..... Variable Pitch Props Twinstar II!

[alwine00775]

Remember that awesome plane the Multiplex twinstar II ? I bought a few of them and have one left to build. I was thinking about ordering 2 of those variable pitch 2200KV x7" motor setups (china) and seeing what sort of fun I could have. Yes it will add weight ... yes it won't be as efficient as a fixed pitch prop but I think it could be pretty cool to fly. Has anyone ever tried this? there is not much out there on the subject.

Hmmm, a twin with reversible props, add in differential thrust and you have a flat spin that would equal a high speed top. I like that idea. Lol

That is pretty much where I was going with it, should be able to create some unique possibilities with the reverse thrust
