Good prop for YS .63 on a 48" V2 Katana ??

[rdgood]

Looking for the best 3D prop to put on a OMP 48" Katana I think TM Pro makes it..

I will be running a YS .63 on 30% Heli .....

Anybody else running this engine setup???


Thanks...

My YS .63 loved 30% Heli fuel and it really liked a 13x6. The 13x4 just didn't have the grip with what that engine could turn it at here at 5000 ft. I would try a 13x5, 13x6, and 14x4 and see what does the best. Altitude is of course going to have an effect, but try both regular and wide blades with the 13" props but don't put a wide blade 14x4 on it.

ben,

Thanks - I will be flying at a couple hundred feet above sea level...
Was the 13 X 6 a wide version??

Yep, it was a MAS 13x6 K Series. You may have better luck with a regular blade version though since the air is thicker down there. It'll take about half a gallon to get the engine to run smooth, but once you get there, you won't want to run anything else.

Ben,

Thanks ...

I will try and post some pics of it when I get it done...I just hope I can get everything I need to get it airborne... Imm calling Central Hobbies tomorrow to order props and glow plugs..

I have always used a 13X6 APC regular not wide and the 63 loves it.

Tom,

I will order one of those too and try it - 7.95 is alot less painful 100 bucks for a 30 X 12 Mesjlik...

Thanks for the feedback..

I know sometimes ya just gotta try a couple of different props till ya find one that sweets out...

I ran a YS.63 on 30% heli fuel in a H9 Twist using an APC 14x4w. The thing had stupid power, unlimited rocket like vertical out of a hover. If I was at half throttle or less and then pinned it, in level flight, it had so much torque it would twist the airframe with authority. An awsome engine from the start, and I like the pc 14x14w.
fwiw

Shawn,

I hope ya mean 14 X 4W not a 14 X 14w OMG!!!

I was thinking of that too! So many props too little time...

14x4w APC with 30% nitro Helli Performance by Omega fuels.
Works like a champ!!

I run a YS .63 on my profiles with 30% fuel.

Best two props I've run (and props that beat all others hands down) are the Bolly 13.5x6 and the Xoar 13-6. The engine really likes both of those, and they are just about perfect on a 4lbs 4oz profile.

BTW, with the Xoar (which is a wood prop) the thing sounds like a top fuel dragster because of the insanely fast spoolup. That fast spoolup also allows a different kind of 3d : )

I've never run a Xoar, but the absolute best prop that I have flown on a smaller glow plane is a Vess.

I fly at sea level and use the 13x4W APC. I have tried the 13x6 MAS and works good too but I liked more in the lightest planes like my Mojo.
On my Fusion 52 the 13x4W worked better than the 13x6MAS.
I used 30% and the spool up with both is instant¡¡¡
I'm waiting on some Xoar to try
