Hello,
we in Germany don't use Nitromethan for Q500,
MVVS will do 17500 with a 8,75X7,5N APC

Not too much for a Q500 engine.

greetings

mm

well first you need to especifi what engine you have, for 424 w/ an normal engine the prop is 9x7, 9x8, these props work good in e OS 46 and the rpms + / - 16000, 18000, in a nelson engine the prop is 8.8x8.75 8.5x9 and the rpms are + / - 19000 21000 static.

I HAVE TO RUN AT 3/4 POWER TO KEEP FROM GETTING DIZZY FROM LAPPING THEM SO MUCH . SO ITS A VERY SWEET RUNNING ENGINE TURNS A LITTLE OVER 19 ON A APC 8.8/ 9.25 . GOT TO BUY SOME JETS AND NELSONS FIND PLANES PYLON IS FUN.
