Default RE: Hawk props

Hey Guys -

I'm happy to offer them, but it's a side item for me. The planes are my main items (I guess unless I had a lot of demand for them). Sounds like Southeast is offering them in the states too. They are good props, at a good price.

I will be getting the 50cc sizes in too, as I'm now going to have the 50cc pitts and 50cc sbach in, along with the DLE 55s. 23x8 for sure.... what other sizes do you guys want?

22x8?
22x10?
24x8?

Thanks!
Tim

Actually for 1, it was $18 JUST for theshipping from peak.
Ummmm .... maybe that's because Peak are located in New Zealand

The two Hawk props I have are the -C- type and they work very well[8D]

Hi!
MVVS 45cc and 50cc engines need 24x8 props (My 45cc engine spins the Mentz 24x8 at 6500 rpm using the smaller MVVS cannister silencer). 22x8 is way to small for these engines. 23x8 might work.

22x8 on a DL-50 got plenty of remarks. Great pull and flies the plane well too.

I personally like the A-type ones.
I have one on an RCGF45cc in my Rearwin Speedster tow plane and it's great!
Good downline braking and an efficient prop

<hr />Sounds neat...but I got 2 questions.
1. If you throttle back more is the dowline braking more?
2. If you go down one number in pitch of prop, does that give more downline braking?

Thanks Capt,n

Hi John,

The answer to both is probably YES but I have always liked the more scale look of the wider blades and in comparison, the braking effect is also better than the C type
