Silly Question on Prop Load: APC17x8 = APC18x6W
Hi all
I know there are many factors on prop selection but I wonder if any one have experienced similar.
Currently I have APC18x6W on my G26 and it give good thrust but the spool up is slower than I want it to be. When I tested it with Menz16x8 it is so responsive and instantaneous.
APC18x6W give me about 7500rpm where the Menz16x8 for 8500. I wanted to use biggest possible prop with still good respond. The LHS only have APC17x8 and Menz 17x8.
I wonder if this 17x8 have lower or similar load to the engine? If there are lower than it will be perfect so I won't lose much thrust while getting good spool up!
