RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
Hi there,
This is an APC 18x10PN prop, and as Jason said has been designed by Chip Hyde. It may be a bit light for the 160/170DZ series, initially designed for the 140DZ if not mistaken but as some fliers have commented, provides good break and slow speed. Overal I have found that the 17x12 is a good prop (probably the best) in windy and calm conditions. I would like to compare these two on the 160. After the test flights, wiill probably install a 170 and check other props as well such as 18.1x10, 18.1x10W which when tested seemed to provide too much load on the engine, but seems to be a preference for many fliers so there must be a rationale behind it.
Jason can you please send some pics of your nose ring installation with the YS? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and regards,
Nikos
