The Evo 1. calls for a 14X6 prop but I want more ground clearance in front
so what 3 blade or 4 blade prop should be on it? I made the plane in a
trike gear because one club likes taxiing events at their fun flies. Drop
an inch in Dia. per added blade? ACP and MA are the only ones I know of.
Any others?
TIA

I have the feeling that the starting point was more aggressive
than that--drop two inches?

I've never heard a per-blade maxim. Then again, I haven't
heard many folks using 4 blades in your situation.

I'd start with a 12x6 three-blade and see how you like it.

Seems to me that the three-blade props don't come in all
sizes anyway.

I won't die if I'm wrong. ;o)

Hi,

Graupner makes some very nice 3-bladed props. Hobby-Lobby.co
has them available.

'Graupner Props' (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/grprop.htm)

My Uproar 60 is flying on a Tower Hobbies .75 and it's a blast. I kin
of think of the Uproar as being like my Sig Somethin' Extra, onl
Bigger! Great fun-fly plane for the money
