DZ 140

[Dave Reaville]

Hi Don

That prop is a bit on the large size. I use a 16 x 12 or 15-1/2 x 12W APC (as per commander Northeast) The 16 inch is a tad noisier but both give great pull @ 8400 up to 8600 rpm at sea level :-)   Needle sound about right for break in but mine are both about 1-1/4 turns out now. 

Hope this helps,

Dave

  Hi People

  I just got a new 140 DZ  I tried to run the engine on a 16.5 X 15W APC.  It would only run 7500 rpm.  I us 25% fuel.  ATT. 1800 above sea level.  TEMP 70 F.  Then tried a 15.5 X 14W.  I got 8500 rpms.  Did not get off the ground to tried the engine.  To windy 40 KM.  What should a persons try for props.  and what settings.  Then needle setting was about one and half turns out.

  Thank
