Flex O Fold vs. Gori

[Michael Edwards]

Folks I narrowed my search down to these two companies. Annador has a direct drive A-4. After looking at two studies on folding and feathering props, it seems that these two are close in performance and price. I am interested in your opinions on the two blade folders. . The Gori brags about the castings and low drag. The Flex O Fold brags about thrust in reverse. Is there some experince among us?

I think it was Loren who had a link to some real testing videos ? It looked very informative.

We went with a Maxprop and haven't regretted it yet.

FWIW, I installed a three blade Variprofile from Variprop. I've only made one outing with it so far but it is living up to expectations. Very smooth, more thrust, more speed under power AND under sail. The only downside is price, but it is a very slick piece of engineering. RT
