Another Prop Size Question
 
I have a Sig Something Extra I bought from a club mate last year. He sold it to me with an OS 52 FS and a MA 10x7 prop. I really enjoy this plane. I can do most basic aerobatics with it, and it lands like a dream. But, I can't quite hover it, and knife edges don't last. I'm considering putting on an 11x6 prop and maybe moving the CG back (although I think I like it where it is). I don't have the manual for the SE or the OS 52. What say you?

Thanks for any help?

Frank

try a 12.25x3.75 APC,it should work perfect with that .52 if its in good condition.You will have plenty of Knifedge and hovering power with that one.Second choice would be an 11.5x4 APC

The nearest size prop I could find was an APC 11x6. Almost hovers. Actually it may be right; I just may need practice. The plane seems to move throught the air better anyway.
