Thanks, if I were to run the 10x6's I have serveral of will that hurt anything? I also have a couple of 11X5's? Mike
The 10x6 might be a tad small for the .46 evo..... just watch over-revving on WOT and you should be ok. Running it rich will help. That prop will be perfectly fine for cruising. A better choice for the trainer/evo.46 would be a 11x5 or 11x6 for a little more pulling power, but I'd wait till you need a prop rather than run right out and get one. It won't be THAT much different. The higher the pitch the faster the plane tends to be..... generally. Other factors apply though.

Once you get comfortable with the plane, use the tried and true 12.25x3.75 APC.... and enjoy!


Read up on RCU for evolution tuning. I think you'll find the Evo is a fine engine, but you might find you have to do soemthing with the needles later on. No big deal, just something to plan for.
My buddy's Evo .46 throws his plane around like a rag doll..... It has amazing power compared to the others we've tried. YMMV
