Why
use an Adjustable Pitch Propeller?
-
The desired RPM can be obtained by adjusting pitch.
-
Pitch can be adjusted to attain various flight parameters.
-
Engine “break-in” RPM can be set by adjusting pitch.
-
The same propeller can be used on different engines and airplanes by changing pitch
-
Propeller blades can be changed if a different diameter is required.
-
Eliminates the need to purchase numerous propellers when testing for optimum performance.

Solo G.A.P. (Ground Adjustable Pitch) Propellers
Solo has developed a propeller with all the advantages of variable pitch but without the usual hassle of pitch adjustment.
The synchronized hub acts as the brain of the unit doing all the pitch measurements and calculations for you. It’s the first of it's kind in the Aviation Industry. To set pitch, simply turn a dial the appropriate number of units. This rotates the blades to the desired pitch for the flight conditions of the day. A quick reference PITCH CHART allows exact pitch adjustment within the 25 plus degrees of pitch change available. All calculations and measurements are eliminated. Take a quick test flight and then fine tune the pitch to achieve the ultimate performance for your airplane.
Attaining optimum performance for any engine-airplane configuration requires testing propellers of various diameters, pitch settings and even profiles. It takes both capital and patience to find the prop that suits your individual aircraft. After finding the best match, the temperature, altitude, and flight parameters of each day will continue to cause your propellers effectiveness to vary. Don’t sacrifice your engines potential by using an inadequate propeller.
A SOLO G.A.P. PROPELLER allows the same propeller unit to be transformed to produce the desired results for your airplane each day. A fine pitch setting may be used for circuits and aerobatics whereas a coarse pitch can be set for speed and fluid flight. If a different blade diameter or profile is desired, blades can be purchased separately, allowing a very economical solution to encompassing even more variations within a single propeller unit. The result is a propeller that is so diverse in its application that it can provide anything from proper engine break-in rpm, to an extraordinary day of aerobatics in the field.
This line of SOLO PROPELLERS comes in two, three and four blade configurations with several popular propeller blade profiles. Blade sizes range in diameter from 16” to 32”, are precision balanced and are ready to fly. All SOLO props and hubs are interchangeable with individual blade replacement available. If a blade is damaged, a single replacement blade can be purchased.
Our propellers are designed to fit all “Large” model airplanes with engine sizes from 1.0 cubic inch (16.5 c.c.), to the largest model airplane engines in today‘s market. Extensive field testing has proven that SOLO PROPELLERS are both effective and reliable
