<BODY lang=EN-US vLink=purple link=blue bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm toying with a modified bolly 16.5x12 3 bladed
prop. I modified the tips a bit. It turns about 8300 on the ground, (which is
100 rpm fatser than the 2 bladed APC 16.5x12w) idles about 1900 comfortably, and
has a really smooth flight speed and transition. With that much power, ZERO
problems with vertical. it actually runs slightly cooler than the APC 16.5x12w,
which was my favorite prop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's also really quiet with the tips reshaped. I
haven't tried one stock on this engine yet. I haven't really decided if it's
"the" prop yet, but it's the smoothest prop I've tried yet on any engine
combination. The OS 140 really didn't have the power to spin it so it's been
sitting in my box forever. I'm also playing with the APC 18.1x 10 that I got
from Jon Lowe a while back. Both work well, but I'll need some more wind to
really make a decision on which one I like better.</FONT></DIV>
