[NSRCA-discussion] APC PROPS FOR OS 140 RX

[frank]

Vince,

 

A few  of the guys I fly with left the 3 blade for the 18.1 x10, which we
all know is a very good prop. I, too, used it for awhile, but found myself
returning to the 3 blade.  More than likely, I will  try to pickup another
one of Dave's re-pitched  APC  3 blade 15.75x 10.

 

Frank

I have one 3 blade re-pithched.  Do you want to go back to 3b?  That is the
best for that engine.

I've used the 18x10 sport prop that Ron talks about. Still have it I think.
I used it on a 27% Xtra 300 10 years ago at least. I don't think I liked it
much from thrust generation POV and it was very heavy.

 

Frank stick with the 18.1x10. If you need a little more speed, try a
standard blade 17x12. Stay away from wide blades...they don't help much in
generating thrust. If I can find the 18x10, I'll bring it to the field today
so you can try it.

You might try an 18x10 , the one with very wide blade at hub, tapering to
point at end.  Will likely require a significant spinner cone trim.  That
prop was next best to the 3b 10p for me.

Frank:

Don't go less than 10 pitch, you just won't have enough speed without
developing a lot of RPMs and a lot of noise to go with it.

Been running an APC 3- blade (15-10) re-pitched by Dave Lockhart on my Brio
for quite some time until yesterday when  I nicked a tip on landing. I  have
also used an 18.1 x 10 with pretty good results. I noticed that APC also has
an 18x 8 W IMAC prop and a 18x 6W 3D prop. I assume the later would be less
desirable, but who knows until it's tried. Has anyone used either and on
what motor ?

 

Thanks,

Frank
