OS Gold head's will turn almost anything in the 60 size prop range,

mine works best with a Master Airscrew 12 x 6

I found that a 12 x 8 made landings too exciting [X(]

My light weight ugly stick just would not slow down enough at idle with a bigger prop

Thanks for the prop info Johnpap! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Enya make a superb .60 sized job. Didn't Phil have a liking for Enya ?
BTW its not cheap but a superb piece of engineering tha will outlast - dare I say it - even an OS.

I know Enya's are great performers, I've had several, but I think Phil selected the Enya for the Kwik Fki for it's size and weight rather than it's performance. I could be wrong about that, but I seem to remember reading something along those lines.

I used a Kraft .61 in mine and it flies great.

I had to be creative on the mount and did this: Engine Mount http://www.fancyflying.150m.com/fuselage%2010.JPG

Here is the finished install: Finished Engine http://www.fancyflying.150m.com/QF%20Rfront.JPG

Here is my build supplement: Kwik Fly Build http://www.fancyflying.150m.com/qwic_fly_iii_build.htm

Cheers,

Thanks Marty! I actually came across your build supplement a couple weeks ago while surfing. Great stuff! [sm=49_49.gif]
