Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF


ORIGINAL: kneeforu

Hey guys. Just did the maiden flight yesterday with my new Skybolt and it flew just as expected. I used standard set-up with an OS 91 two stroke. Flew great with just a click or two of up needed. Laterally it was fine (but I had added about 2 oz of weight on the left side in the servo compartment).

My question is prop for the OS 91. I have a 13x8 master airscrew on now and after two flights, it seems a little fast. I like a lot of pulling power and not so much speed, so I was thinking about a 6 prop, but I am worried a 13x6 will be too much rpm. Does anyone have a 14x6 on a OS 91 and how is that performance?

Thanks! - Bill
I have a 14x6 on the very same OS91: runs very well and pulls really hard, give it a try. BTW I'll move to a 14x7, the 6 prop is a little too slow for me.
