Default RE: the right prop for a bme102 on an extra

What RPM's did you get with all those propellers?



ORIGINAL: bugsiegel

let me ask this question in here.I have a BME 102 on a hanger 9 33% extra.
the finished plane will be around 29 lbs.
before I end up with a stack of expensive props which won't give me the rpm's I need, which props are you guys using for this above combo.
I already have a NX 26/10. I have flown with this prop but I'm not getting the full rpm's out if it. the engine has about 10-12 gallons of fuel through it already.
I just received the menz 26/10 but not the standard version ( that one was out of stock) but this prop looks thin. I wonder if it will slow the plane down or over rev.
because the standard menz was out of stock I ordered a DA 26/10 but this prop looks too thick. as thick as the NX and it feels allot heavier.
now I have three props that don't appeal to me.....
any experienced suggestions are welcomed.
I'm not ready for a composite prop just yet because i'm still doing testing on the plane with the cg. I don't want to bang up an expensive prop just yet.
also is there a preference between Bolly and Mejclik ?
