Default RE: Too much prop stopping ENYA 60X ?

Hi!
You are definitely running a too small prop if you use a 11x6 prop on your 10cc (.61) engine! Or even worse a 10x6.
A 11x6 prop is used for most sport 6,5-7,5cc (.40-.46) engines and 10x6 for 6,5cc (.40 ) engines!

If your engine stops it's because it lacks fuel, either you set it too lean, have a loose bolt somewhere, hole in the fuel tubing (no bubbles should be seen), bad fuel, wrong fuel, wrong glow plug, bad ball beraings etc.

Here is what I would do!
Use a 11x71/2,11x8, 12x6,13x4 or 13x5 prop RAM and APC is best!
Use 5-10% nitro fuel with 18-20% oil content.
Use an Enya 3 or OS 8 glow plug.
Use a 12-14oz tank, preferably with Uni-flow set up (Two clunks, one for pressure and one to the carb) or even better use a Tettra "Bubbleless tank"!
Use silencer pressure!
Never use a plastic spinner! Use an aluminium spinner or alu nut!
