Battlefloyd Prop
 

I have a Battlefloyd with an MVVS .26 eng. I am using an 8X6 prop. Is this the best prop for speed? :)

It's probably the best prop for just speed. If you are using the Battle Floyd for combat, you might try using the 9X4. It won't get you as much speed, but should pull you faster thru and out of turns and maneuvers.

I like the Battle Floyd design. If I were trying to get a club interested in combat, this is the plane I would promote. It's inexpensive, quick building, reasonably tough, and flies very well even for a low time pilot.

Thks Cajun,

Our club is small but we all use the same eng. We're always looking for an edge. I have noticed how we lose a lot of speed out of a turn.
Would a 7X8 add some speed? How much speed would I lose with the 9X4?

A little off of the top end, but more than make up for it in the maneuvers.

Try it. I think you'll like it.

Cajun :cool:

Btw, if you are building Floyds, you can really improve their durability by using coro instead of wood on the sides of the fuse.

Thks all, I'll give it a try...

If you like the Battlefloyd; give the SPAD Derringer a try. It is made from
CORO and Canadian PVC. They are much tougher than the foam. I (we)
use the OS .15CVA and an APC 8x4 prop.
