I searched a little and couldn't really find any definitive database for the best performing props/sizes/materials, for specific engines based on actual users experience. Do you guys think it would be useful to have a thread that lists engine models and the props that work best with them for specific purpose? I think it would save a lot of time having a thread that is info only that can be a great starting point for someone with a new motor. Just a thought. Oh..and should it be a sticky so people don't have to search for it when no one has posted for a while?

DLE 111- Falcon 28x9 CF - will rip with out throttle management
DLE 61- Vess Stealth 24b also think a Falcon 24x9 CF would be awesome
EME 55 with proflow can- Falcon 23x9 CF this one will start to rip in downlines just a warning

All used for 3D flight and work really well

Damn I'm hungry
EME 60 on pro flow- Mejzlik 24x8th. Lots of thrust. Excellent spool up. Quiet prop. Have not ripped it.
DA 120 Falcon CF 29 x 9. Lots of thrust. Excellent spool up. Rips at WOT when approaching max air speed S&L.
YS 175 Mejzlik 19x8. Lots of thrust. Excellent spool up. Quiet prop. This would be good for 30cc gasser too.

All used for 3D

Here is what I have found that I like for 3D and general flying, all props are Falcon Carbon based on first hand testing. I'm not an RPM guy, don't really care what it gets for RPM because I prop for performance in the air not static RPM. Bold is my favorite:

DLE60 twin - 23x8W, 24x8
DLE61 - 23x8W, 24x8, 24x9
EME70 - 24x8, 24x9
DA70 - 25x8W, 24x9, 24x10
DLE85 - 26x10, 27x9W
DA100L - 27x10, 27x11, 27x9W, 28x9
DLE111 - 27x11, 28x9, 28x9.5
DLE120 - 28x9, 29x9, 28x10, (need to try 28x9.5 yet, sounds perfect)
DA120 - 27x11, 28x10, 29x9
DA150 - 32x10, 31x10W
DLE170 - 32x10, 32x11, 32x11W, 31x10W
GP176 - 32x10, 32x12, 32x11W
 
I'll play along too......

3W 150 QS---- 31x10W or 30x12 Falcon woodie
3W 164 2 holer (custom Joe Lewis special for me 157 lower, 170 piston/cylinders)---30x13, tried 31x10W and it was not happy.
EME 120 on WW RC tuned pipes---- 28x9.5
DA120--- 29x9, 27x11, Mezzy 28x10
GP 61---- 24x9
3W 106--- 28x9.5 have 28x9W to try too.
