Could anyone give me their opinion as to how well my 3.2 would run, swinging a 24-10
I have bought a GSP Decathlon 96" wing and I expect it to come out at about 18 lbs.
I know that my engine choice may be a tad radical and therefore have wondered about swinging a bigger prop to tame the beast.
Any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you, Bob

i ran a 22 x 10 RCS and that prop gave me 6300 RPM and Gary at Brison felt i needed to be in the 6500-7500 RPM for the motor to be at it's best. I still had unlimted verticle on a AW Edge under 16 lbs and the prop would T-roll quite easy. So you can image RPM wise you are going to drop at least 600 with that prop compared to the previous mention Maple prop.....

Try either a 22x8 Menz-S prop (about 7100 rpm).
Or a 22x10 Mejzlik (about 7200 rpm).
That's what EJB gets with his Brison 3.2 motors.
Works well for planes in the 15-18 lb range.
The Menz would fly a little slower.

Those props are for ultimate performance in an aerobatic plane.Personaly,I would still use them in a scale type plane to get the optimum performance out of the engine. I would think a 24x10 would really bog the engine down too much. I also think a 96" Decathalon at 18 lb. will fly very close to "scale like" with the smaller prop.Of course you can try a 24x10 or 24x8 & see how the plane flys.

I wouldn't go larger than a 22 inch diameter prop because the motor can't turn the larger props anywhere near the torque/HP peak of the motor. Big props will only give you worse performance and possibly cook the motor.

Stay with what Diablo suggested and you will have good results.A friend of mine has the same plane you have and he put a 3-w24 on his.His came out heavy so he really needs more power than the engine he has on it.
