What prop do you use on your .61FX?
Hi fellas,
getting back into glow with a Morris Top Cap. At high altitude I'd like to use a .61FX I have looking for a home in the garage. At 5000' and 5 pounds, I don't think my .46FX will do it. What's a good 3D prop for a 61?

I used a 13-6 apc on the os 61 fx. It was in a Goldberg Extreme 330. It haed plenty of power for hover pullout, etc. But I think the 13-4 wide blade is the better choice.

Hello Dave,
I took my Twist out for a run today with a .61. I was using a APC 12.25 x 3.75 it has
ausume power pulling out of a hoover. I then tryed on a APC 13x4W it just did not
have the power. My choice is defenitly the APC 12.25 x 3.75.
Jetway.

I finally flew the TopCap today. I used a 13X4W. Flew great but the CG was too far forward. Will try again tomorrow.
