Default RE: Moki 1.8 performance

It needs a 10 mm through-hole with a 12 mm ream at the rear of the prop, 5 mm deep. Or you could just ream it 12 mm all the way, I didn't like doing that so it could fit other engines. Standard bore on almost all large props is 10mm.

The Mezjlik will fit fine but you will need a 12 mm reamer to make it fit the aft part of the prop bolt. You want about 8400 RPM's with that engine. I used a Bambula 18x8 and it really pulled the plane hard in verticals. The Mezjlik will likely turn around 9000 since the paddle area is a lot less than the Bambula. Not a bad prop. You could save a bunch of money and just get a wood Airwild NX, Menz, or JFX 18x8 prop. They all would run well on that engine and are much lighter than the CF.

Hey guys,

Not sure if this thread is still going..... but i need some help, Just running in my Moki 180 with a 20x10 wooden prop, its to big and i am going to an 18x8 (seems to be popular)
I was wondering - does a mezjlik 18x8 have the right size hole to fit onto a Koki shaft - or does it need to be reamed out?

Cheers

RJ
