    Similar Prop Characteristics: Lightning ET, Pro ET & Spinelli DR4

    I am looking to confirm what props are outright copies of others or at least have very similar characteristics and was hoping others could chime in here with their knowledge.

    The main props that I am looking to find copies/similar performing designs of are the following:

    Lightning ET
    Pro ET
    Spinelli DR4


    Below is what I "think" are similarly designed props to those above based on a lot of searching.

    Lightning ET:
    • Performance Propeller SC 3
    • Hill Marine Eagle 3 Prop


    Pro ET:
    • BBlades Blaster (from Hill Eagle 4),
    • Hill Marine Eagle 4 or Bullet Cut Performer 4
    • Performance Propeller Performer SC4


    Spinelli DR4: ???
    • Does Performance Propeller or Hill Marine make a similar version of this?

    This could be interesting. I will contribute pictures of some. Of course there is a lot more to a prop then the basic shape.
    These are a Drag 3 (Hill), Drag 4 (Hill), Hydromotive T4X, Hydromotive QIV

    Thanks for the contribution, and I can add other props to the list as well. For instance, the Mazco RE4 could be similar to what? I am not sure if anyone is still producing the Mazco props based on my searches either and alternatives would be nice. Hoss Triton alternative, or what is similar to an SRX

    Rankink, still running the hst? Tried about 10 diff props on my. Including et lightning, dr4 etc. The srx is hard to beat for top speed. For cruising with passengers the solas scorpion is the ticket. It carries weight very good.
