I ordered me a 20x10 as well as a 21x8 NX.I know I will just have to bolt them on and tach them to find out , but which one do you guess is going to give me better speed? Its going on a Brillelli 46, and I cant go bigger than a 21 inch prop due to ground clearance on my Skyshark Christen Eagle ( 64 inch wingspan) "hopefully" coming in around 15 lbs- I still have to bolt the Brillelli on and test it once I get the new props.
Thanks again,
John

I've had a couple of these engines. They did VERY well with the NX 21 x 8. Personally, I wouldn't load that engine much more than that. The NX 21 has great spool up, good thrust, and acceleration is pretty instantaneous on this engine. A 22" would just be too much load, IMO.

Airwild seems to do the best of keeping the NX in stock. And they ship promptly.

I use the 21-8 Xoar on my B-46...seems to be in the right range...
Just for clarity, you are using a 21-8 prop on a 53cc engine? I would think a bit light for that displacement...

It's the right size prop for the Brillelli.

I have played a lot with NX props in different sizes with mixed results. I suggest you try the NX and compare them to the Xoar and menz, to find what you like best...
