I have been flying a wood zinger 14x5 on mine with 30% fuel, all the power you need! It's great on the Flip and the Funtana.

I like the 14-4 zinger pro... If you have the prop clearance.

14x4w apc the best prop for the 72 IMO.

went to a 14x6 on a ucando 3d with a .72, never looked back! it does need 30% nitro to run this combo though, but pulls 9750 rpm with it...

With 30% the 14*4W is the one. With 15% the 13*6 apc is the ticket.

For funfly, most are running the APC 14x4W or 13x4W on the 72.

I have used both props with success, the 13-6 seems to be the best all a round prop to me. The 14-4 is a good prop on 30%, but it doesn't spool up fast enough for my taste. I think I'm in the minority on the 14-4 because there are a lot of good flyers in this forum that like the 14-4

I like the 14x4.

Also the Bolly Clubman 13.5x6 works well on the 72

I think a better prop for this model and engine will be a 14x5narrow...from APC good prop that...

good spooling, stops the model being too fast, but has residual pull at lower rpm which the 4" pitch blades dont have so well...
