Thanks for the feedback. I'll go for a folder, but it is good to know a regular prop will work too. BTW, I enjoyed watching your videos. Great job on the editing.
I thought it was supposed to be winter down there. It seems like perfect weather!
@FlyingMerf funny you should ask. i have done dozens and DOZENS of landings with the normal prop- no esc brake, no folding- and have never had problems. until today. snapped the prop on a soft landing in sand... weird. but it does not glide like other zephs with folders. so if you like gliding around silently and without drag you need a folder. but not essential. if you land soft all the time it will last ages. if you hit hard you will break it for sure.
what are dual rates but use 60% expo? and how do you set them? I know I'm lost!

Thanks for the tips. I have a Zephyr on the building table.
I noticed you did not use a folding prop. Have you had any problems with prop strikes on landing?
