Prop Exchange
 
I have a E-flight Cap232 airplane. I broke the prop, a 11x3.8 plastic APC brand. Is it OK to use a 10x6 Zinger or a 10x6 Rev-up wood prop in its place? If motor does not heat up is it ok? P.S I am using a 3 cell pack 1200 ma pack. Thanks Capt,n

I'd stick with synthetic props made for electrics, they are much lighter than the wooden props for nitro planes. With that said, a 10x6 will probably load the motor a little more (~8% more, using L^4 x P for the load factor), but if you check the current and/or batt/esc/motor temps you may be OK.
