Prop Rip

[stangflyer]

Friends lent me a 29x12 and a 30x8 to try. I'll see how the weather is this weekend it might snow.

Snow? Ya... plenty of that "STILL" coming down here. Has been for the last 24 hours. Hopefully you can get some test flights in on those props. Would like to hear of your results.

Just put skis on it and let the sticks do the talking

29x12 might be the ticket. Mine has a 29x9W Falcon. Insane thrust but over 1/2 throttle it will "rip the drawers off a fat gal".
I bet the 30x8 will be worse.

Roger that Mark.... Still snowing. I am thinking my 260 is gonna learn how to do the snow shoe slalom.

27x11 or 27x12 will cut your prop rip. Trust us.

Luckily my club has no noise restrictions, I like a little rip, but nothing obnoxious some some have.

Yup...me too. A little rip ain't too bad. No restrictions at our field as well.

My previous MX-2 had a 3-blade and cans on a DA170. If another plane was flying, you couldn't hear mine at all unless you got into the upper RPM range. My new MX-2 has a 3W 157CS TS and 3W cans.. seems much louder on the ground, and I haven't gotten it to the field yet. I like a very quiet plane. You can fit big enough motors in most planes that you have more than enough power, so I generally do that, then use a 3-blade to keep things pretty quiet.

Sweet...... 157cs/ts huh? Cool.... What prop you running on that? Rpm? Just curious....

26x10 on a 106cc(non 3W) worked good for me!!
