RCPROPSNAPPER,
Make sure you get pics or video to share with the Brotherhood as I am sure we would all enjoy seeing her in the air!

where are guy's getting your 4 blade prop's? Just looks too cool not to have one. Also question, I have 2 engine possibilities for my top flite .60 build coming up here shortly. Well 3 really, I have a new in box st .75, a new in box asp 108 red head, and a magnum 1.20 4 stroker. Any thoughts on which I should use. Need to start making some decisions before I embark on my first scale build. Phil

mrshea, I am hoping someone can give me the same info on 3 or 4 bladed props. On your engine choices, the Magnum 120 four stroke is the way to go. You will have plenty of power, you wont have to add nose weight, and you can't go wrong with the sound of a four stroke on a Warbird! I am putting a YS FZ110 on mine.

Thanks RCPROPSNAPPER, now I just have to figure out which on will work best on my YS FZ110. Most people use a 2 blade 16×6....is there a way to figure out what that would translate to a 3 or 4 blade prop?
Thanks
Thanks

My group have been using DLE20's for TF .60 warbirds , and RCGF 15cc's for Hanger9. H9 weigh a bit less. Both configurations use Ultra IBEC to save weight.

The VVRC 20 is nice and has Rcexl ignition, genuine NGK-CM-6 spark plug and its only $199 and you get 10% off.

Some pics of my "Jug's".....sadly, some are not with us anymore
First pic; Starmax (E-powered); second pic: PZ P-47 after a midair (we call that a near miss); third pic, my Hangar 9 P-47 150 (Evolution 26 gas), and that plane needs to get out to the flight line again!

For your viewing pleasure - link to my you tube video of the operational cowl flaps and LG operation of my P47. This video was made a few years ago.

Happy New Year All! Warbird40,to answer your question on props I do believe for a 3 blade drop 1 inch in dia. and add 1 inch for pitch. (16x6 2 Blade= 15x7 3 Blade) And for 60 size warbirds I have an Evo.20cc on my TF 60 P-47, but if I had waited a bit longer, I would've gone with the new DLE 20cc RA.
