3W 140 Prop Choices
Hi, I just got my new plane and it has a 3w 140 in it. I will get to fly it in a few weeks. It currently has a 30x10 prop on it. Can I also use a 32x10 on it, 3W wood prop, or would it be to sluggish

RE: 3W 140 Prop Choices
We have a 40% Lanier Edge 540 in our club I flew Saturday. 3W-140 with a NX32-10. Plane weighs 41-1/4lbs. I built the plane. Engine will rip the prop on level flight. Verticle performance is execellent. If it were to run out vertically it would be way up there. I didn't do any 3D, hovering or torqin just flew the plane. My DA-150 will not pull a 3W 32-10 as flyinrazrback mentioned. Its a very heavy load prop. There's not any big noticible difference in power between the DA 150 and the 3W140, bout the same. I would go with either the NX or Menz in a 32-10...
