DL-30 two gallons (loaner from friend) Sea Level 60 degrees F with Velocity Stack

JC Super Prop 20x7 = 7000 rpm solid


I took the loaner off today and put my NIB DL-30 on there and will be curious what the same prop does on the first tank or so. Might go down to 18x8 for break in.

I got 6800 rpm on apc 15.75x12 3 blade prop on 3rd tank of gas. It flies the hellcat with authority. 3 blade prop looks pretty cool on the hellcat if you paint it with Rustoleum metallic black.

Best prop for flying that I and others have found is the Xoar 19x8.

cool. thats the one that i was planning on going with for flying this baby (i love xoar props... overpriced, but damn! - they look good haha)

problem...: Chief has that prop temporarily out of stock.   but they do have a vess 19" prop in the 19A and the 19B. anyone know if either of those compare to the xoar 19x8?

thanks
Heli

Maybe a little harder to hand start due too poor fuel draw. I love the way I can tune it when running. It reves up instant with a 18x10 wood M.A. on it. The install is maybe a little more difficult....but it is my first rear carb install. I am glad I did the rear conversion. I think the transition is smoother in RPM levels. Capt,n

<hr />EDIT...I am going to fix that poor fuel draw while I got the engine off. I am going to solder that hole in the choke plate like Jody said. Thanks Jody for the good idea. Capt,n

Am thinking about a DLE 30 on my Funtana 90 - my present engine really doesn't do it. G20. I have a ground clearance concern. Any ideas on a 3 bladed 3D prop for this motor??

Thanks - Ron
