We'll see

Ok error on my part.. it's a 17*8.... too much XMAS spirit already... hic!![X(]

Picked up a Master 16*8 to try.. dead cheap at only £7.. nice wide blades too...

Regards,

Steve

oh steve, god help you....put it in the bin or save it for the next diy filler job on your house....

A YS does not deserve MA treatment,.... please dont waste your time...

was only gonna use it to run it in....

Should one of the YS lock nuts be 'flanged' slightly off centre so to speak?? mine is ....help!!!!

Regards,

Steve

what rpm are these props spinning at

Yes

8000 - 8500 sort of range. (thats the aim anyway )

I suspect the FZs need a few more rpm than the DZs

Ooooh yeah def dont abuse the poor masterscrew on a YS. Those props belong on scale aircraft only in my opinion.

Right, well the degree of upthrust has been put in and the J'en prop is on will report back when tried out tomorrow. Thought the extensive mud would drive me away for the rest of the winter but this plane is too much fun

The first pic is of a comparison of the gator mount rubbers new and knackered.
2nd J'en 18x6 against the APC 17X8N
3rd is the prop against the APC 17x8

The main weakness of the 17x8N is its lack of downline breaking. Hopefully this will be desolved with the Just engines one

Shame they dont do a 19X6

4 Tanks of fuel today - running in my new 140 FZ2. Looking good, after 4 tanks, peak was a shade over 9000 with the 17x8n I was using for running in.

Cowl now back on, along with the normal 17x8, for testing tomorrow

Those J'en props look alot better than the depressing APC props too.

Only if you leave the APCs as they are. I paint mine. Looks great and they're much easier to keep clean. You can just see it in this pic. Plus are they not still the most efficient props you can buy?

Angus

How do you paint them, and what nice paint.

Nice job by the way

Well, all the paint on my Synergy is Aultra 2K car paint, including prop, apart from the Blackberry which is PPG deltron 2 pack. Both fantastic paints.

Angus

ps Paint them using a De Vilbiss spray gun. To prep prop just make sure it balanced and then rub it back with 600 wet and dry then 1200 wet and dry (or thereabouts). Then just spray on the paint, does'nt need any primer or anything. Works great!

Angus

not convinced about the Jen props sorry...interested to hear Luke verdict ....

Ok

If your favorite plane is a weston UK magnum use the 17x8 APC

If your favorite plane is the weston UK magnum and hype 3D use the 17X8N

If your favorite plane is the capiche 140 use the J'en 18x6

The J'en prop is much better. The prop gives you much more speed control and power control in both downlines and uplines, and the slower flight gives you a lot more time to get your onputs right. I wont be going back to the apc on this plane.

Unfortunately though for the 2nd flight of the day i screwed up my engine by mucking around with the needles and changing fuels. Got a deadstick and flew through a sapling, just mssing a drainage ditch. Luckily there wasnt much damage. Cant be arsed to bother with it anymore so im going for a more powerful engine

.

Put a few tanks through the 140 Sport yesterday..........

runs sweet after 3 tanks idle good.. transistion wherever throttle stick engine follows immediatly... I'll fit the 17*8... My first ever 4 stoke engine.... why didn't I get one sooner!!

sweet

Steve
