You can save these as subassembly and use them on your builds,
credit would be highly appreciated since it took a while to make these.

A custom propeller pack with high performance propellers using a special flat bottom airfoil layout, you can control the propellers' pitch with VTOL. for each propeller, VTOL up means thrust forward and VTOL down means thrust backwards. The red and blue colors underneath the propeller indicate if it should be installed on a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating engine. Red means clockwise, blue means counter-clockwise. These are the most advanced propellers you can get, and the ones I use on my piston engines.
A little info:
The more blades the propeller has the more thrust it will generate at a certain rpm, but it will also be harder to turn and so you need a powerful engine. The 2 bladed props are perfect for low power high rpm engines. And in contrast the 8 bladed props are good for high power engines, but also function well at high rpm.

how to use them i cant
@Visify I thought you are going to make it!
@sexylips35 No, and I'm not going to
Did you make 7 bladed propeller??
The torque I meant is the force a piston engine can generate-onto the fan, not on the plane, as 2 piston engine will cancel each other out, or just with some other modifications.
You should beat them in my XENODASH ROTARY Piston engined plane!
What speed can they reach on my TA-154 TURBO? 1000mph?
BY CRANKING PISTON SPEED. That is the most STUPID way to get "turbo". Anyway, I renamed the engine into XenoDash Rotary. It is the name of a propeller from the game "Touch Racing 2". Check it out on Apps Store. Also, "X" is the first letter of my name, so I think it fits this engine better than the oscillating one.
@CDRxavier I have an engine working on torque, however the force that torque gives is not infinite, it has a limit, and under enough pressure torque won't even be noticable, the thing you said about rpm is interresting, I have a pretty crappy pc so I wouldn't be able to get my RPMs up high. that would also explain why some people say they can reach far higher speeds in planes I made without modifications.
The RPM is limited simply by prosessing power as well as performance issues. Therefore it is hard to crank up the RPM on a low-end device, like a iPad Air 2, but as the amount of torque is unlimited, there is unlimited solution.
A tip for piston-engine builders: They have a INFINITY amount of torque, and that means you can fit it with a HUGE fan-like, a HUGE one. They are also slow engines-slow but powerful. So if you can make a gearbox for smaller rotors...sure. If not, stick to the big stuff. Remember: They have INFINITE amount of torque, but FINITE rpm.
I am interested if you can upload some BETA builds-I am out of uploads today, so do not expect me to upload anything after 12hours. What that means is I AM BORED-need something to tweak with.
One thing. I kinda want to tweak with the size and shape of the blades on propellers with a higher number of fans(ex: 6-blade-fan)-I think the blade can be even more thick and bigger for the TA-154 NON-turbo version as that spins 100% much slower. Any ideas?
@CDRxavier Thank you :D I put alot of time into them.
Works like a charm! Love it. Good job. Definiely upvote. Thanks.
I would be snapping one of these onto the TA-154 TURBO edition!
@HakkeAirTech Thanks for the upvotes dude
@sexylips35 Tomorrow I'll try one on my new engine, I've got something special to work on right now
@Visify Try.
@sexylips35 Yes I can, but it may be hard..
Good job!
Can you make a 7 bladed piston propeller?
@PlanesOfOld Nice job, I could never figure it out... Great to hear it's doing good!
Ive been editing my project and 'beautifying' the gears hit a brick wall as it loves to get stuck, managed to make it run smoothly on its own but yeah it behaves like someone has welded the gears together with toffee
Sweet, with this in mind, time for something devious >:) @Visify
@aircraftarsenal123 You could make a wind farm out of them lol
