Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi,
I'm interested to know if forum members have used a pitched propellor nose cone on any mills.Please help me understand the pro's and con's if any of trying one out.A larger approach angle could be possible to assist start up.There will also be drag,so how might these interact?Cheers Rastus
