are you just standard field flying, or venturing into 3d? if 3d is your path, you need to come down on pitch, and increase diameter, if it is standard flying, then the 18x10 will indeed do the job

I have been running a 20X8 APC on my G-38 for the whole summer and it runs like a spotted monkey. I tach'ed it at 7800 to 8000 regularly. Last time I dorked it into the ground I broke the prop and the only thing I have to run on it now is an 18X10 APC.

I agree with carson,, I used to use a 18 6/10 on my g38 in a Byrons cap21, also used a 17 6/10 by cutting the 18 inch down. runs a lot smoother if you cut off both tips and not just one..... lol
