Loyalty to 10x6 props goes all the way back to the control-line stunter called the Nobler and the standard stunt engine of that time which was a Fox .35. Try both and decide for yourself.

If you can find a Macs header you can make a mousse-can muffler for it. Supertigers respond well to this type of muffler. If you live near Eldon, McDDD can help you.
