I'm about ready to fly my U Can Do .60 and I'm ordering props. I've read threads and the common favorite seems to be the 16x4w. I've also read the 17x4w is a good choice too. Any other recommendations?

I also have YS 110 on mine. I tried the 16x4W. It spins at about 10k, but it does not seem to pull it as well as APC 16x6 @ 9500. Spool up with APC 16" prop is already marginal. I didn't try 17x4W because I think it's too heavy for crisp response, and 16x6 flies just fine. Here is a video of it w/ 16x6:

One of those is most likley where you will end up. Maybe a 16X6. Alot depends on altitude too. You may like the W props but at your altitude your rpms may suffer a bit. So a 16X4W instead of a 17X4W is where you might wind up. ITs not an exact science and when you have gotten down to a couple of sizes as you have your decision is gonna be based on your prefrence.

and weight of the plane IMO makes a difference in hover . A heavy plane with a 17x4w will be more sluggish than a light plane with same prop with same motor.. just my opinion after trying.
