Ok when you talk about props
Dave, what do you think would be the perfect prop on my DA-200/proflow?............for 3d?
I have a 32x10 mej on it since new, but the engine probably got broken in, because it ripps more now than before

And what 2-blade for imac?

Rian, I am a little reluctant to give a ton of prop advice for a engine that I have never owned because as you mentioned, They are just too darn expensive to buy just to try. I really love to fly with the 3W-3D prop . It is a 31.5X14X8 CF prop also I really like the Vess 32C. We have used these props quite a bit on some of the more powerfull 170-200 size motors and just be smart with throttle management. I don't have much data on the 33-34" props. I say if you are happy with the spool up then you are there and if not drop 1 pitch size.

Hi Anders my friend, I'm waiting for someone to try the 3W-3D CF (3 Blade) prop I'm sure the 200 is on the same line rpm wise as the ZDZ-180 and I really like the 3W-3D CF prop 2 blade on that motor. (Just be wise with the throttle control) If you watch my short video on my web site you can see the pull out on the 37.5% pilot Yak. For IMAC many pilots out here seem to enjoy the Mejlik 30X13EL or the Falcon 30X14. Sorry Anders that I can't advise more as I don't fly IMAC, Just respect those who do.

The maiden for my Extra 260 was flawless!! I guess the best compliment I could give Dave's build job is that it needed no trim, none, nada. Best flying plane I've ever flown. Plus, since DA did all of the updates on my 170cc, with the Prow Flows and all other updates, it just ran perfect. Like a clock, actually it ran like a 150cc I wore my Pro Flow garb for good luck. Got three good flights on it and can't wait to put more. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Note my Pro Flow jacket hanging in the background.

Whoooohoooo!

The boys are impressed with the Pro Flows, they make my DA 120 very quiet. I am looking forward to this weekend, some nice weather is coming to Wisconsin, so I hope to burn up the last of the break in gas, and start tuning in the DA 120, and burn some smoke oil through the Pro Flows!

Thanks 401HITMAN, I love the way the DA-120 sounds on the Pro Flows. If you get a chance try and capture a smoke video for us. Take care and have fun flying!

ProFlows Prop selection for AW-260

Hey guys, I have a AW-260 now running a DA 150 in it, and after my contest coming up this weekend, I'll be switching over to a DA 170 with ProFlows. I've been hearing the transition on the throttle with the ProFlows has been great, can't wait to get the new engine and the cans in.
My AW 260 like others is approx 43 lbs., so the question is whats the best prop for IMAC.
I was told the Mejlik 30-13 EVO-L or the Mejlik 32-12 EVO will work. How many guys have tried BOTH. Please give me you opinions. Mine you I'm putting it on the DA-170 with the ProFlows and IMAC is my main considersation.

Thanks in Advance,
Joe.

Hey Anders,
I finally got to test run my DA-200 on the Pro-Flows, and wow! I love this thing! I tried it with a Mejzlik 32x10 and a Falcon 30x14. My 200 didnt seem to like the 32x10, in the past ive only ever used the 30x13 or 30x14 props for 3D. I liked the speed and quick spool time, but for IMAC they also work very well, just fast lol. For my plane that the 200 is going in, it will be for IMAC only. And i will be using the Falcon 30x14 prop. I think its a great prop for this motor IMO and would be a good choice for an all around prop for you, and if you try and dont like it you can send to me i could always use a spare lol.

Zach
