I have a couple of White Thimble Drome Props that have a "Warning" on the prop hub that says "Do Not Use on RR-1, Space Bug, Thermal Hopper".  One of them came on a OK cub 049B.  I don't really plan on running them , but am curious as to what engines they would be suited for? ?  one is 5D x 3P, the other is 4.5P x 4P   Any of you guys have any Information on them? Thanks!

The RR-1, Space Bug and Thermal Hopper can reach higher RPMs than later reedies can (Babe Bee, Golden Bee, SBjr). Those props may not be able to safely handle those speeds. That note can still be seen on some new props currently available from Matt and Bernie (obviously still using the same old molds).

The 4.5"x4" was made for the 105 Super Cub (single port Babe Bee) not a lot of power needed and not a very efficient prop.
The 5"x3" was for the Water Wizard (#5000)

Mark, I want to make a replica propeller stand, seen on left upper corner of the first picture. Can you send to me a scan or a high resolution photo of that propeller sheet?

I have 1 of those in use. it' a 4,5 x 2,5 on the Pee Wee of my free flight plane Wing Ding. The prop came in an engine lot I bought and was used before. Up until now, it doesn't show any signs of fatigue and stays in 1 piece.

Those props have rather low load, maybe there is also a risk of over-revving those more powerful engines?

yep, thats my guess, i think they needed the smaller diameter for the Cub landing gear.
