Default RE: Scale Props

Hey Folks,

Checked out the vario prop site, really cool products. I'm going to try a 4 bladed 10x6 on my c-160 with O.S. Max .25FX power plants. They have more hp than the other 25s i've found. (.84hp each) While the 4 blades won't spin up to the 18,000 rpm that the motor advertises, I don't think thats neccesary for this aircraft. All the postes I've been reading are commenting that they only use 50 to 75% throttle for flites and take offs. And my dream project right now is a fully functional V-22 Osprey with interconnected tuborprop jet engines. I think that would be an awesome RC, I don't think AMA would certify it due to the weight though. Anyway, thanks for all the comments they all ment a great deal. Happy flying and landings to all!
