Default RE: Tribute 36 prop selection

I flew the kit review on the Tribute for R/C Report magazine.

I used an Evo .36 and had the side force generators installed. The manual recommended an 11-4 prop. On the first test flight, I couldn't find an 11-4 so I used a 10-6. Both props work pretty well. I liked the 10-6 better. The plane had a little more speed and pulls through knife edge loops better with the 10-6. It staggers with the 11-4. Oh, all props were APC.

The side force generators feel like they aren't there until you put in rudder. They make your rudder more powerful. Knife edge is a snap with them. After trying them, I wouldn't build the plane without them. There seems to be no down side to having them installed.

It lands very nicely. You'll enjoy the Tribute.
