DLE 20's can use a variety of props. 17x6, 16x8, or the APC17x8N (narrow) which will out-turn and out run the 16x8 all day long. It's quieter as well because it is much more efficient.

Morris profile plans

I've got several sets of rolled plans, a lot of them are from Morris Hobbies designs. Is there anyone still building balsa profiles that might want to put them to use?
