RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence
I need a prop suggestion for my Moki 150....
I'm flying a 35% Pilot Yak, about 32 pounds (if I remember) and a 107" wingspan. I've tried a 26x14 and a 26x16, both of which just don't seem to give me much torque or speed. I thought that since the plane was relatively light for the motor, it could handle the extra pitch. Maybe not. If I do typical warbird bombing runs, it builds up a good head of speed, but looses it quickly on the upline. The motor turns over 5000 RPM on the ground with either prop, and I hate to step down too far in pitch... need to keep the ground RPM's around 5000.
Someone suggested a 28x14.... there's plenty of room for ground clearance. I hate to keep throwing money at props that aren't performing for me... any suggestions that will improve torque and still have decent speed from the plane? I don't 3D at all, just basic aerobatics, sport flying.
