any one here know what size prop that great planes stuka needs its been so long i cant remember.

Hi!
Depends on what size engine you have got!

os 61 ax i think. i found the manual online and it reccomended a 12 x 7. sound about right?

Hi!
No! 12x6 or 13x5 is better. Preferable APC.

Regards!

MrBass,
Getting the right prop for the right plane sometimes takes a little experimentation, especially with a scale plane. Work within the recommended props for the engine and see how your plane performs. If you don't like what you have change it out for another. 12x7 may be a bit small and high pitched for the plane, but you can try it to see what happens. As for APC props, while great for speed or sport planes they just don't seem to "look" right on a scale warbird IMHO.

Hope this helps

I think a 12-7 APC prop may be a bit too much for the OS 61. I have one, its a smooth runner but puts out disappointing power. I would try a 12-6. Or better yet if you want to try a better engine in that range go for the Tower HObbies 75 and then the APC 12-7 would work great! The smaller TH engines are more finicky to adjust but the TH 75 is a terrific value. As far as the looks of a prop on a warbird, once you start the engine and taxi out 5 feet who sees the prop any way?!? To me its what works well that counts. [8D]

Anyone still on here.

I purchased one of these Stuka's second hand, not completed and appearently incomplete. I need a set of the inner flaps or I need a small amout of covering to cover ones I could make. Hate to buy a $109 wing set to get the small flaps or $30 worth of covering to cover to pieces of balsa the size of a cracker.

Thanks anyone,
Denny
