Status: offline 		my xoar on the 120AX turned right about 8,400-8,500 before mods and the apc 17x6 at 9,050-9,100 before mods. my 120 is now turning the xoar 18x6 at 8,400.

Status: offline 		IMHO you are overproping the 120 AX with an 18x6 if you are flying 3D stuff try the APC 17x6 W

Currently I am using an APC 16x6W to improve spool up times as I just love the crisp response when hovering low.

Status: offline 		what rpm are you getting with the 17x6 wide?

the 18x6 spools up faster than the 17x6 apc. I will try the 17x6 xoar toady to see rpm. I will not use the 18 any on the funtanna not enough prop clearence to be throwing away 15 dollar props.

also the 17x6 wide i bet is a heavy weight prop LOL
