Default Bambula or Xoar?

What is everybody's opinions of the Xoar props vs the Bambula props? I love the Xoar's (so far for a ZDZ80 and PTE36), and I'm researching which prop to get for a Moki 215cc which will be in a 1/3 Waco. I don't need 3D performance, just something that idles nice, and good engine braking would be nice, too!

normally i would suggest Xoar... but since you want scale performance bambula will be fine 32-34" is about the range

Thanks. I'm just going off the description on TBMs website. Just wondering if they are any better for mostly just putting around the sky and doing lazy loops.

A friend uses both Xoar and Menz, they seem to provide the same loading. I have use Bambula and Menz, the Bambula provides about 500 rpm additional loading on a ZDZ 80 super as compared to the Menz. I would suggest the Bambula has more loading than the Xoar of equal size.

I have been using a Bambula 22x8 ,Xoar 22x8 and a Xoar 22 x8a 3d on a Brison 3.2 . The Bambula performs very closely to the 22x8 Xoar as far as pull and down line braking. The Xoar 22x8a 3d prop has slightly better pull but down line braking is lacking. All of the props are turning in the 7500 rpm range. The Zoar 22x8a 3d is the loudest of the 3 props .
For overall performance I have been very satisfied with the Xoar props.

I use both but prefer Bambula. Comes perfectly balanced.
