Hello!

Picking up my G-26ei today. Would like to maiden tommorrow. What prop would you recommend for its break in? I preffer a 3 blade or more (for the P-47) Any other suggestions since I have little to no gas experience.

Thanks!!!!

Peter

The best overall prop for the 26 is a Mejzlik 18x6. Revs up nice, makes around 17lb static thrust, costs a lot and isn't 3 bladed... Most of the 18x6, 17x8 sizes are pretty good with a decent muffler or canister on the 26. Can't help with a 3 blade, though, sorry.

Mark

Use a 17x6 or 16x8 two blade and possibly a 14x6 three blade for the initial breaking-in purpose so as not to overload your new engine. After running a gallon or two through the engine you can switch to a 18x6 two blade.

Thanks!!!

17X6 will give you the best resaults
enjoy

One thing of note is G26's do NOT like to be lugged. They NEED to be real close to 10,000 in order to make the power they were designed for. Some of the conversion engines will happily twist a prop at 7500 but the Zenoah is a different animal and really needs to turn up to get to it's full potential. I know when Ralph gets through with one it will turn an 18X6 pretty close to 10,000.

That's very true as the man himself told me to prop the 23 and 26cc for 9,000 rpm.

Yep, he da man!
