Status: offline 		Hi, Im looking for some nx props ( they were recommended to me and Im relatively new to gassers AND on a budget ,btw), maybe a 20x8 or 20x10 or a 21x8. Its going on a Brillelli 46 that will be on a Skyshark Christen Eagle. I cant go any larger than 21 inch due to ground clearance issues. So where is the least expensive place to purchase these props ? Im sorta looking for more speed out of this plane rather that thrust, Im not a 3-D type of guy, but I do likes me some speed !! Any suggestions on which size prop to try first? I do realize I may have to try a couple and experiment... I just dont want some props that will seve me no purpose laying around unusefull to me .
Thanks,
John

JXF are GREAT cheap props and you can get them here http://www.valleyviewrc.com/index.html

NX props are also good and I get them here http://www.airwildpilotshop.com/MoreInfo-1.asp?title=product&id=157

Vess are my favorite props as well. My DA-100 loves the 27A. I also run their little guys on my 26cc. Great props!

Here's where I get mine...

Status: offline 		Ditto on the TBM props, they are crapola, load the engine way too much and the quality control on them is non existent. 1st and only TBM props I ever and will ever buy were a 22 x 8 and a 23 x 8, both of which arrived with chipped tips and the clear coat bubbled and pealing. If your on a budget you cant go wrong with the NX or he JFX. Since you specifically asked about the NX you can get them from Airwild as others have pointed you too already.

Sorry bout the rant on the TBM's but I would hate to see ya waste your time buying them just to have to return them, besides you specifically asked about NX props which are far superior but I think you already knew that
