Hello all....Ive been flying glow planes for years but have very little knowledge of electrics. I bought my wife a Typhoon 3D and was wondering if it was ok to use the small prop with the 1000 NimH battery. Book describes the prop usage in a very broad way without saying, "yes you can use it on that battery." Any input would be greatly appreciated.
If your talking about the small prop that came with it, then yes you can. The larger lower pitch one (13.5x7 I think) gives a little more thrust for 3D type stuff, but either prop flies it just fine. I'm still running the stock batteries & have probably equal numbers of flights on both prop's.
Before you fly it, I'd recommend wrapping a few layers of packing tape around the small fin on the underside that the tailwheel bracket attaches to. It will snap off on anything but a graceful landing.
