RE: Recommended props for the OS AX engine
Manuel,
I have not seen an AX in person yet and maybe the info I received was inaccurate.
These parts may not be exactly the same, but most are close enough to be interchangeable.
Most external parts are clearly different (the carburettor is entirely so; not just the spray-bar), but I was under the impression that most innards were not different.
The ABL process is what the more recent FX engines also had. It is just a new name for the same thing.
The design of the muffler may have more effect than anything, as far as power is concerned.
Until the engine's stats are changed, so it will peak at 12,000 RPM, or less, the 12x6/12x7 prop recommendation does not hold water.
