Default DLE 55 - Vess 22B or 23B for 3D

Just wondering if anyone has tried both. I have the 22B and its pretty good. I like it better than a standard Xoar by a lot. But, I'm wondering if the 23B would give me better pullout and forward speed. The 23A just sounds slow and I don't like slow.

Anyone have first hand experience?

thx

on a stock setup such as no tuned pipe,most would say 23a, youll have a faster spoolup and better punch

You want a good aerobatic prop for that engine get a Falcon 23x9 carbon.

Does the Falcon give you fast pattern speed or is it more like running a slower 3D prop? It's a lot of $$ to drop on a trial and error situation.

Thx...

Checked on the Facons and they are spendy. Really worth it compared to an Xoar CF? I wonder.

Its a very light prop so it spins up fast, pull out is better from a hover than any wood prop I've flown.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the pricing. We tested them at FX3D last year (they brought a truck full of props and a drill press, fly what you wanted, keep the one you liked best) and one of the things they were talking about was their lower pricing. When the production batch came out the prices were a good bit higher than what had been discussed.

That said, I don't have a problem buying them based on the way they fly.

Keep in mind, props are a bit like tires, its personal preference and your flying style. I like them.
