Got a new BME 50 for my 28% WH Edge 540 and need some advice on props. I don't think I want to go with the high-buck carbon props, just a BME, MENZ, etc. prop. Seems like 22*8 is the most popular... opinions? What about break-in vs all-out after break-in?

Thanks,

Tom

I like the 22x8 the best on my BME 50. I am using MSC props, they will give a bit lower RPM's but the pulling power is awesome, it seems as though they are like the Bambula's. I think any GOOD 22x8 will do it, some people like the 22x10. I tried both and just liked the feel of the 8 pitch better.

Almost forgot, break-in. My intention was to break it in on the 22x8 and then switch to the 10 pitch, but as you can see that didn't come about, I just stayed with the 8.

The 22-10 Mejzlik will give you more zip. . make the plane fly more aggressively and give you better up lines, and the engine turns it about the same rpm as the Menz 21-8, perhaps 150-200 rpm stronger. The 22-8 Menz will be a better "Pattern" prop, slowing the plane down a bit throughout a sequence. For 3-D, try the 21-8 Menz, or equivalent, for really good hole-shots out of the torque rolls and better on-off throttle response.

My 50 was on an aeroworks 29% edge. I liked the 22x10 menz, but most of all I liked the 22x10 Moki prop, too bad they are hard to find now.

Thanks guys. But, when you refer to the Menz props, are you talking about the Standard or Ultra? Not sure which is best for 3D?

Well I have used 21-10 bme, 22-8 zinger pro, 22-10 mejlik, 21-10 mejlik and most recently a 23-8 mejlik on the bme 50's that I have had. For 3d I like the 23-8 mejlik, more bite for TR's, a little bit slower to pull out. A great overall prop is the Mejlik 22-10, pulls a little better on uplines but doesnt slow down as much for landings as the 22-8 23-8. I like the CF props, they will take a ground tic on a bad landing that will shatter a wood prop. IMO they are cheaper in the long run

I tried a 22x10 menz ultra as well. Its a better IMAC prop than 3D, the menz 22x10 standard seemed to be the best 3D prop of the bunch. If the motor is new, I would go menz 22x8, I had about 15 gallons through my 50 and it was ripping the menz 22x10 standard.
