If you answered "Over 16 feet"
Then how big is your prop ?

I thought there would be a lot more beginners working with props less than 3 feet.

Woof! I have been playing with my new 12-ft diam. mill lately and have a 22-ft diam rig in the works. The larger is intended to run an average sized household in a reasonably good wind location.

Ciao,

My largest was actually made of plastic toys (knex) at 8 feet 4 inches.  My largest wood prop is 8 foot, but later exploded
