140FZ RPM's?

[Troy Newman]

Probably too much prop for an FZ....I ran that prop on the L's and it was not the light load for the L either.....Couple this with a lack of nitro 15, 20%...put less prop on it.....15-11 was always good....but I ran 20-30% nitro. what ever prop you choose hit that magic 8400-8800 rpm,,,I you are lugging it down in the low 8000's its too much for it and if you break 9000 its not enough prop.....I would guess the 16-11 on like 20% would be marginal...low 8000's...I taking that from my numbers...the L turned it at about 8600 on 30% so drop 300 from L to FZ and then drop another couple to 300 for the lack of nitro...The 16-10 was a good one on the FZ also.....too noisy but pulled well.

Hope this helps

  Can anyone let me know what RPM's I should be getting on a 140FZ with a 16x11 APC on CoolPower 15%-20%  ?

  or any RPM figures with this prop on your fuel of choice?
