In my case, the only rotor that is strong enough for my
MonstIR and small enough to fit in my HDX5106 is a prop
pitch.  Since the HDX5106 is a crank up, the rotor has
to fit ENTIRELY inside the tower, with nothing sticking
out.  The prop pitch is small for its strength due to
the planetary gears.  "Regular rotors" do not have
plantary gears.
