I got mine yesterday. I just finished drilling and balancing and got it mounted on the ZDZ 80 RV-J. Will be flying the 26A tomorrow morning.

Get ready to be pleasantly surprised Skydiver. That is the set-up I use. It is a Very nice prop engine combo, the best duo that I had found.
If you are just in Rockwall, then we need to get together for some weekend flying!

Flew it today

ZDZ 80, 22 lb Edge, 26A

Quicker throttle response than the Mejzlik, slower downlines and I really liked the "feel" of the plane. Dont know why but it seemed more solid in inverted harriers. Also quick blips of the throttle in a hover produced INSTANT thrust. I'm very pleased. A carbon prop in this profile would be the shiz!

How did it punch out of the hover compared to your mejzlik?

Jaybird · 02-27-2007, 12:31 AM

It seemed like vertical speed was the same but the initial "blast off" is insane. The Mejzlik is no slouch but the Vess just gets it moving much quicker. Instant acceleration is really cool.

Jaybird · 02-27-2007, 12:44 AM

Plus it sounds cool!

Help!!!

Getting different vibes on this info..

H9 Extra 330 with regular old ZDZ 80 stricly for IMAC.

H9 Extra 330 with blue head ZDZ 80 stricly for IMAC.

Both on Supersonics.

Looking for slower downlines with a punch on vertical

What VESS prop do I need A or B.........?

Thanks

Flyinrazrback · 03-02-2007, 02:51 PM

Roger, what do your airplanes weigh? I prefer the A as it makes tons of power and constant speed. The zdz super 80 turns this prop with authority, the 26B may be a tad much for the older 80s, so I would stick with the 26A.

Roger Russell · 03-02-2007, 03:06 PM

The older ZDZ is pulling a 24lber

The Blue HD is pulling a 23lber.

Both are mainly IMAC planes.

Thanks.

Flyinrazrback · 03-02-2007, 03:15 PM

Ok I would still stick with the 26A. It pulls like a train, very nice, and the good thing is it is very quiet even when turning 6800+ on the super 80.
