heh. . that's funny Desertrat.. "not getting 28" of thrust". . A Menz 28" prop is ONLY 27.3" in diameter, their 26" props are 25.4. . the 30's are really 29.5 and the 32's are 31.25. . .kind of makes the whole Menz line of props a bit. . insubstantial.

I wonder if they are gtting their rated diameter in thrust?

I chose the AM because I KNOW it would rpm about 100 more than the Mejzlik (of which I have 2, just waiting till the motor breaks in a bit). Still teh footprint is 28" in diameter, although the blade area is just a bit less. I tmakes enough thrust to haul the plane straight up and a pretty good clip. . I did a snap, full roll and another snap on a vertical line and kept on going. I think that says a lot about this props ability to pull and provide thrust. right now, I think a mejzlik would have made the motor bog a bit more than I like, But. . past experience with an older version of the 102 showed a solid 6200-6250 rpm on canisters with the Mejzlik 28-10 after the motor was broken in. The Evo is substantially stronger than the older 102's, so I'm SURE this motor will happily spin the Mej 28-10 at around 6400, on pipes. Time will tell, of course.
