Sweet, so 20x6 huh? I'm putting the PTE onto a 72" Extra, and run nothing less than an 8 pitch on my other quarter scales... What do you like better about the 20x6?
Thanks,

The lower pitch would slow the plane down a bunch and act like a big air brake when you cut the throttle and it would climb like a homesick angel. I wouldn't run one however because I don't think I'd get the high energy and speed that I like. I know the PTE can turn a 20x10 with pretty good authority and be hovering at half throttle. I just don't want to turn it into an all-out speed machine.

Do you guys think a carbon pop will pull more amps than the Xoar I've been running? I've wanted to try one out. It's alot of $$ to put out only for it to over draw my system. Just curious.

I've been looking for an electric version but they are hard to come by. Falcon makes a 20x10 carbon electric.

the thing i like most about the 20x6 over the 20x10 besides the faster throttle response is i can be more precise with my throttle control. the 20x6 will move lots of air across the surfaces when in high alpha without as much torque effect on the airframe when blipping the throttle.
Yes the 20x6 also slows the plane down nicely... LOL this airplane is so floaty you kind of have to use the prop to get the plane slow down.... it just wants to keep flying
the plane will fly plenty fast with the 20x6 to do any trick you want! (it is the prop
3DHS recommends for it)
the 19x8 for me didnt get enough air over the ailerons in a harrier but gives superb throttle response.
the 20x8 and 20x10 i tried were very torqey when blipping the throttle and harder for me to be "precise" with the throttle... which i think is very important when a hundred RPM is the difference between harrier landing and climbing out .... I guess what im trying to say is i can fly smoother (and slower) with the 20x6.
I would rate the vess 20A next in smoothness but it wont give you the braking force of a true 20x6.... the vess will lock in on a hover like nobodys business but for a good do it all prop i think everyone needs a 20x6 to try at least once.

I guess it was PT who makes it. I was just checking it out and although the search showed it as electric it is not. Bummer

Lol Falcon makes them. Just have to find one in stock somewhere.
