Hey, I got the plane and engine in Mollola. We forgot the prop at the guys house so he's gonna bring it to Cour d' Alene. I think its like a 24-12 3-blade and its an AirModels

No, but will try to make the September events.
I'll definitely be getting a DA-100 for my new one. I just love the way they run. The way it pulls a Fiberclassics out of a hover is amazing, and it runs so smooth too.

Chris, don't worry about the thrust of the DA100, it will be plenty. Make sure you manage that throttle. You want a constant speed and the 3 blade should help. Send me your email address, and I will send you a program I have that calculates HP & Thrust based on Prop and RPM. Take care and I will see you at the field.

24x12 3-blade?? I am running a 26x12 Air models :-D. It will be internesting to see how the motor turns it. You might be ripping that 3-blade :-D. I would say that either a Mejzlik 25x12 or Air Models 26x12 is the way to go with the DA. The Mejzlik has a wider blade so that is why you would need an inch less diameter. But I am loving my 26x12. Had to do some fixes on my FC after Saturday and I have a new rudder coming too :-D

I just bought Harry Taylors 35%, it came with a 25-12 airmodels 3 blade on slimline mufflers (which are restrictive). The plane flies great. In 100 degree heat the verticle was awesome. It was turning 6500 rpms. The only thing I didn't like was I had to fly with lots of throttle. There was not much power before 1/2. I put in a throttle curve and now I can fly lower on the stick. My FC 2.6 extra was flown at 1/4 on the horizontal and it was still fast.



Look out, Ryan is going to want to fly it
