So I am seriously considering trying a Solo 4 blade prop for this bird. Being it will have the DLE85 it can swing the prop. I have been talking with Patrick from Solo props, he mentioned that the prop is rated for 5000 rpm max in flight. Not sure what to think about that. I have been using a 26x10 xoar prop with mid 6500 RPM and 39lb static thrust. I know the four blad will be closer to 30lb thrust with this build should be ok as I want this to come in at 30lb+- I'm thinking a 22" prop but 24" seems better as my pos Biela 22x10x4 was useless.

so has anny one within a stones throw of this thread have any info on Solo props and two strok engines. As to the 5000 rpm max,

thanks
