Well, now you guys did it....

Jim,

Yeah.  This is the same prop I used with this motor on the Focus.  It is a great motor.  I was running 10 % Coolpower.  
I have a couple 17x12's, but never tried them.

3M really knows how to make a sweet little motor.

I wonder if anyone has tried a prop with less pitch on this motor in a different application other than a pattern plane????

Jon

  Hi Jon,

  I've been running the 3M 140 with a 17 x 10 prop.  It hovers my Phase One at 1/3 throttle.  If your close to ½ throttle, it will definitely climb out.  15% Cool Power.

  Earl,



  Should be a fun set up.  The 1.40 is a real strong motor and should have this bird around just fine.

    You'll like the Lite Stik with the 3M, I've a YS 140DZ on one and it flies quite well (10,5#). A good equipment test airplane that uses pattern stuff (radio, servos, engine, fuel system, etc.) I use the "flaps" as mixed ailerons for testing new / rebuild servos. Interesting that a "lite" airplane has wing panels in the 900 grams each range, when pattern folks consider 400g to be on the heavy side.
