What Prop Works Best On DLE20 On 65" Profile ?
I have a new 65" flatty going together with a DLE20 on it, was curious who has a good recommendation for a prop. I turn an 18x6 on another DLE20 powered airplane I have so I guess I'll start there. Was looking for a good 3D prop.

alright so i'll do a littel guessing here 20CC bipe i asume .. pheoix ? models ... never the less not vary much of a 3d plane .. really really not close to a profile that prop might work for that airplane becouse your really over powering it .. ? if its the 60 size nitro jobber ...this airframe probably doesnt spend mutch time punching out of slow flight you probably fly at speed.. considering its a horraible slow flyer .. but a profile something you want to hang acround you want to do water falls you want respunce in a roller and in a KE fade .. that prop is alot of load consider yourself you say on a DLE 30 you run a 18/8 witch is a littel small for that motor but a 18x8 is really close to a 18x6 and 20cc and 30cc is really far away from each other on power table ...
I'm just getting at here is your really out of context of the thread .. hes flying a profile and he's posting in the 3d forum so one would think hes into 3D .. only good thing i can think of a 18x6 is you'll have great breaking on downline stuff and you'll have less top end speed so if your trying to get ride of chance flutter and blowing the tail off that profile then go fo rit .. but its alot of prop load for a dle 20 . 17x6 you'll have more perky top end and spooil
but either prop would work just try some stuff out I persoanly think 17B would be a nice match
I like 19B on DLE 30 and thats a 3d airframe

Well my DLE 20cc with a 18x7 Zoar is on a Primo 55" WS 3D piece of art. It hovers at 1/4 throttle and at half throttle will go vertical until there is no oxygen left to run on. Full throttle is to much, I programmed it down to a little over half. If need be I can post video!!!!!!

Great looking ship! Love to see the vid. Love that scheme, looks great.

I apologize it's been so long. The profile went together easily and the DLE20 is VERY happy with the 18x6W. Some say it's too big and nothing I ever run will satisfy ol' Zach, but the airplane flies beautifully, does every maneuver in the book and never requires more than about 1/2 throttle. I like the 18x6W, I think it's a perfect match.

The biggest issue I have found is the spool up needed for a crisp, clean waterfall.
I ran the apc 18/6 prop on my DLE 20 on a GW Yak hoping for more thrust at lower speeds.
I now have the DLE 20 on a redwing SBach.
I may just have to try that 18/6 APC on the SBach.
AS long as I don't bark the throttle it does swing 18/6

The Aerobeez profile with the DLE20 I really like the 18x6w for my taste. But my very similar Texas RC Planes Katana 70 I run a 17x4w APC on a Saito 100 and that is the perfect combo on that plane.
