Don`t think you can. I bought mine directly from Falcon (live in Norway). 29X9 for my DA 120. From here on it`s only Falcon on my engines

I just put my 1st Falcon on a DA60. The 24X9 works perfect on my Extreme Flight 91". I'd buy another Falcon in a heartbeat.

Here's my brief experience (2 months) with a DA150 on RE3 pipes in a 42% Raven;

Falcon 30x13W....pulls great out of hovers, unlimited vertical, can easily do unlimited upline snap combos. Can be loud if throttle not managed. Good 3D and IMAC prop if careful with throttle.

Mej 30x12....not quite the pull of the Falcon 30x13W, but still pulls nice. Louder though....very easy to rip it. Will probably sell this one.

Falcon 31x14....loads this engine more, but still has plenty of upline for Int/Adv IMAC. Much quieter...can rip slightly at higher speeds it is capable of. I'm currently using this prop for IMAC. It's not so good for 3D.

None of the above offer any downline braking. I fly Intermediate IMAC with some Adv and Unl stuff for practice.

The Falcons are gorgeous props.

Cedar Tree Branch Strike!

Tipped the top of a 1/8" Cedar tree branch. Lost 3" on one blade on my 29-9 Falcon, and delaminated the other. Didn't know they were wood filled with a thin layer of carbon skin on the outside.

I flew Mejzlik for a long time until the Falcons came out. Got one 2 years ago and loved the 27x11 on 35% planes.

I don't think any of them are solid CF. Most are hollow in the blades.

Last one I broke was hollow. No wood in that one. Maybe just the larger ones have wood in them?

I don't see why a wood core would be an issue. If anything I'd say it would make it even more robust than a hollow core.

Earl, your pilot doesn't look so good. Get the poor guy in for a physical.

Falcon props are my favorite out of everything on the market. Lots of different sizes to choose from. Great designs that seem to put out a nice efficient thrust to noise ratio. My vote goes to falcon.
