Prop for 3D?
 
Hi guys just thought i would get your sugestion on a prop.
I have a goldberg sukhoi arf with a saito 1.80 on it im thinking a 18x6 prop would be good on it but am not sure if that is to much prop for the 1.80. If i do go with the 18x6 im going to go with a Mezlick prop. Also what would be a good break in prop for the engine. from what im reading in the manual they dont have a recomended break in prop so im selecting the one that was recomended the most which is a 16x8. I have heard that you need to go up one size if you go with a mejzlick prop is this true? sorry for the questions just want to get it right for my first four stroke. Thanks

i didn't vote because the apc 18/6 wide blade isn't there its the 3d prop most thrust which is what you want for 3d use a 16/8 two blade for break in

What is the difference between the apc wide and the mejzlik 18x6 besides weight? I would think that the mejzlik would have better throttle response because its a lighter prop?

I am going to try an apc 17x4w on my goldberg sukhoi arf but im running a saito 150. It flew great with an apc 16x6 but I think the engine needed just a little more prop.
