Had to reduce engine rpms for the Fiala prop, and could not spin the SEP 24x22 higher than 3000 rpms on the ground. Biela prop should be delivered tomorrow, but doubtful the results will be any better. Unlike testing props for a glow, gas, or electric setup, trying to find the right match for this puppy can get pretty #@Śn expensive. Would greatly appreciate comments from those of you using the Kingtech K-60tp.
I'm using a Solo Prop 3 blade hub and 3 Corsair style blades. The diameter is 22 inches and the pitch is dialed it to 22. Not the cheapest option but works very well. Blades can be replaced individually.
