I have an 89 inch Slick on order and a DA 60 sitting here waiting for it.

What size props are you guys running that are running this combo ??

A buddy of mine has a DA60 and was spinning a 24x12 with it. He said he would probably have to go up another prop size

Also, I have a tuned pipe coming as well. What prop would I look at then

Cheers and Thanks

What was he flying with the 24x12, can't imagine that would be any good for 3D flying. DA recommends a 24x10 as the strongest. My 60 has been flown mostly with a Xoar 24x8 and I am switching to a Vess Stealth 24B. Great pull for 3D.

Yea, the guy I got mine from told me 24B

OK, thanks for the info.

Need to go prop shopping

I have not flown my 89" Slick yet. It has a DLE 55 and I'm looking for a DA 60 to put on it. Please let me know if someone is selling a good one. The DLE don't look like the power I need. davhuffman@ gmail.com

Falcon carbon 24x10 is a great prop for the DA-60 on a standard muffler. That prop on a 60 bolted to an 89" Slick is pure awesome.

Fly it!!!!!! the DLE55 is a fab motor, has plenty of power and will fly the Slick proper

DA60 is awesome, but try the 55 you won't be disappointed. I have both the 60 and 55, 55 is on a H9 Carden Yak 19 ibs and still flies it silly!!

Yes. The DLE-55 will haul it around pretty good. Don't ground it for not having a 60. The 55 has plenty power for this airframe.

Hard to tell at night but a 55 is plenty on a slick.

Keep the Slick as light as possible. We are using Falcon 24x8 at 3600 ft on the 60. Falcoln prop seem like a best all around prop. 55 just doesnt work that well at our elevation. My first gas plane was a Gold wing. Dle55 had plenty of power being it onlt weighed 15lbs. Slicks alot bigger and better plane...

My slick came in at 17.5 lb with a dle 55 - 7955's -2 , 2600 mah ions on receiver and 1, 2600 mah on ignition o ya 23x8 for prop with plenty of power it is my favorite plane

What about with the JTEC pitts? Any change in prop suggestion on the DA60?

Moose,
I had the Jtec large pitts muffler and was running a Falcon 24x9 or Xoar laminated 24x8. Either was ok but the Falcon was my all around favorite. Never tried a 24x10 as the 29x9 was nice and snappy and great for 3d and pattern type flying. I've since gone with a stock type muffler and run the 29x9. 69xx rpm if I remember right and I fly right around 300 feet asl.
