prop size for ff.12

[ken t.]

I'm wondering what prop i should start with on my ff.12. I am running the new os tz18 so i should be able to turn something a bit more agressive than the normal .12 props. <_<

Go with what the instructions say. Start out with a Prather 215 then when the motor is broken in and set up is close go to the V937/3

I've tried a bunch of props. the x438 and 437 both work well. The props in the instructions also work real well....

Ken, try a 1440, you just might like it

If this is your first outrigger, the S15 mentioned is good advice to start out with.

If that engine is as wicked as it's advertised, you might be able to turn a V-940.

Has anyone out there tried a 1640? That's gotta be a good prop

Or a 1445 cut down to ~42mm may work with the .18? If you could get that to work, it would be awesome

like ron said..... v940

 

[ken t.]

Thanks

That gives me a good variety of possabilities.

Clay,

I use a 1640 with cup and the OS TR really likes it.

Ditto with Ron & Tom on the V-940 with the TZ18. Might also want a bunch of cup!

Get back to us on the v940

Personally, I'm wondering if it will turn a v940, but you never know 'til you try . May be Tom's already done it?

Then again, it's got 50% more displacement than the .12s
