[SPAM] Re: Three blade size

[Bob Pastorello]

The 13 pitch three blade is too much for the OS 1.60.  It works, but it's straining a bit on 15%.  Might be fine with 20 or 25% nitro; never tried different fuel.  The 16 x 11 GRS three blade sounds pretty interesting, Wayne.  May have to borrow yours to find out.......... :-)

  I dont think it would be enough load for that much engine.
  I would think a 15.75x13 APC 3 blade would load the OS 1.60 better.

    The Mejlik 16x11 was AWESOME on the 160fx, best prop by far. Just a bit loud. I think I'll try one of these Cleveland 16x11s and see what the difference is.

      That is notable....3 blades instead of two and yet one ounce lighter than the apc!

      Sounds like a good prop for the 160fx??

        Something different.   Look like clones.    But I think for less $$
        This 16x11 3 blade has good performance and is noticeably slower then the 17x12 2-blade APC.   
        The 3 blade 16x11 is one ounce lighter then the 17x12 APC also.

          Those look a LOT like Mejlik props, wierdly enough even the sizing is the same. What's up with that?

          Anyway I have a Mejlik 16x11 I tested yesterday. It has an extremely wide blade root and a 120 cut  TT was too small to fit. Also the hole Dia is 3/8 so a bushing would need to be used on a 140. I can say this...it's louder than the APC, but it's PERFECT in performance.

          So are these Mejlik clones or are they something different?

            Cleveland props does make a c.fiber 16x11  and I am using one on my OS 1.40 and I like it.

              I wish they made a 3 blade 16X11

                -------------- Original message -------------- 

                Does anyone make a three blade 16 x 10 ?
