Hi all,

I have a quick question on prop size for this engine. It is an older Enya .19 V (as in roman numeral 5). It has great compression and starts by hand on one or two flips. Trouble is, I have tried an 8X5 Master Airscrew prop and an 8X4 APC prop and neither leave me impressed. I am pulling a 2 pound 8 ounce plane and it just doesn't have the Umph I was looking for. I switched to this engine from an HB .20 and did expect to lose a little performance but not as much as I have experienced. Can anyone suggest a good prop for this engine? Thanks

Sounds under proped. Try an 8x6 or 8x7. Enya'shave pretty good power when compared to most engines of that size.

Use a 9X6 or 10X4, you'll be impressed. These engines swing big sticks.

My props of choice for that engine have been the 9X4 and 9X5 props.

Hi!
9x4 or 9x5 APC possibly a 10x4 if in a slow, lightly built plane.
