Default RE: wood prop for 102" w/ DA100 ?

Hi guys,
Had some first flights today with the Vess 27A on the 102" QQ Yak. All I have to say is my expectations were met and exceeded. I was using a PT models 27x10 but the Vess is superior for how I like to fly.

Spool up is TONS faster so the throttle response is lightning quick. Hover pull out due to a little increased static thrust and the quicker spool up was amazing and once its spooled up verticals are like a rocket. Hovered about 1/3rd throttle as well where my PT required half throttle.

It's a little noisier though and downline breaking isn't as good as the PT. If I were going to fly IMAC, I'd stay with the PT or go to a 28x10 but if you want to fly a mix of IMAC manuevers and some 3D thrown in - this prop rocks!
