Default What prop?

Okay guys,
What prop (2 Blade) size is suitable for a broke in DA 100 running regular cans on a 34% Columbo Anderson Extra for IMAC? I've been running a 28x10, but have heard people say that a 27x10 works as well and a few other combinations. What do you guys think?

-Seth

Default Re: What prop?

Trial and error, I would try a PT 28x10, or a vess 27B. So many to try and never found a perfect prop. 3W 27x11 carbon prop works well for imac too on the DA. Mejzlik 27x10 for 3D and 28x10 for imac, but I like the PT a lot better than the mejzliks.

28-10 Mejlik is the prop of choice IMO for IMAC. My DA100 turns it with good authority. Mind you the DA is on 1060 KS pipes. But I have seen DA's turning that prop easily running on cans, it gives the best outright upline grunt for IMAC maouvres.

Infact I think just about all the IMAC guys in the local scene I fly with run Mej 28-10's on their DA's

For 3D style stuff I have personlly had a Menz 28-10 and a Bolly 27-10, both are noisy, the Menz loads the motor up and keeps the rpm down a little bit but still makes a lot of noise, the bolly being only a 27-inch prop screams!!
