Prop For 3D
I have a E-Flite Mini Funtana with a HiMaxx Brushless/Gear Box running a 12" dia prop; what Pitch would be best for 3D maneuvers, hovers, torque rolls, etc; Thanks.

RE: Prop For 3D
Let me kick in my 2 cents.
1) use the SF not the E series props
2) use a 12 inch or cut down a 12 inch to 11 1/2
3) use a low pitch 3.8 to 4.5
4) watch the amps
The essense of the problem is to get good airflow across the tail of the airplane. All of the above helps that.
