Evolution 58GX2 prop question
 

Does anyone know where I can find a prop drilling fixture for this motor. Its a 6 bolt pattern. not sure if its the same as DA or3W. Any suggestions on a good prop to use. Its going on my H9/Carden Yak

I use the blue anodized prop plates to drill mine. I also use a 10 mm bolt that holds the spacer plate to the prop, centered.
A wood prop 24x10 will be perfect. Vess 24B.

MVVS makes a prop drill jig, item # 3380

How well is the 58 spinning decent wood or carbon 24x10 props?

RE: Evolution 58GX2 prop question
 

I believe that you can use the ZDZ drill jig.

I am swinging a Xoar 24x8 at 6700RPM on the 4th gallon. Haven't tried the Xoar 24x10.

This is on a custom BCM pitts muffler.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try a Menz 24X8. I ordered an extra prop washer to use as a drill guide. That should get me started anyway.

Didn't know Vess made any 24 inch props, where can I find them?

RE: Evolution 58GX2 prop question
 

And for future prop drilling, I use an old prop sandwiched between both of the prop spacers and center it all on an even longer 10mm bolt.

Hi!
A 24x8 prop is too small!
My 45cc MVVS (Evolution in the US) turns a 24x8 Mentz at 6600rpm using the small MVVS 3206 cannister silencer.

Jan,
Americans like to turn rpm more than anything else. In combination with a pitts muffler, the 24x8 will be about OK.

RE: Evolution 58GX2 prop question
 

Pe, I had to laugh at your comment about Americans and RPM, its so true! I have the MVVS 58 Prosport and it turns a NX 24x8 at 6300 RPM on a pitts muffler. I used to think RPM was the "Holly Grail" , however, over time ,I have found that with practice I can do more with less. I think my 58 is better suited for a 24x10, less static rpm, but overall it provided better performance in my current 30% YAK. I was told to try and prop the 58 for around 6100 rpm static. I dont know if this is a proven rule, but it seems to work fine for me.

I learned from flying electric that sometimes there is no set rule. You have to match the best diameter and pitch to both your motor and air frame through trial and error. The solution is to purchase more than one propeller and fly them all to see which one best suits your model airplane and motor. Some times the propeller that yields less than the desired rpm on the ground offers the best overall performance in flight.

You can get the drill guide kit that does all Evolution and MVVS engines from Advantage Hobby

The 58 performs well anywhere between 5800 and 6500 rpm
A 22x10x3blade mejzlik will be about perfect and hover at 1/3rd throttle on a MTW TD75 canister
