Re: Katana V2 55AX
A few people I know are using 13x4 with good results -- a 14x4W seems really heavy to me and since your Katana will likely be lighter than a twist you'd be better sacrificing a little thrust for faster spool-up.
Use wood -- it's so much better than plastic. I'm using Volk/Xoar wood props on all my profiles now and they rock - much better thrust than APC and the throttle response is incredible due to the lower weight.

Re: Katana V2 55AX
Yeah a 14 x 4 is a bit much for this little engine.
We have about 4 profiles (a true ProBro) and we use a 13x4 on the 55AX which works best for us. Some dudes from the US use the 12.25x3.75 but its gonna make that engine work!

Re: Katana V2 55AX
Hi bill,
Weres your old hundy gone?? Nice yak though :-) I have moved to blenheim so im not at whenuapai anymore :-( I have just got a katana v2 and a 46ax and all i can say is it is awsome heaps of pull out power on a 12.25x3.75 and even better i am running it on no nitro!! Compared to my pbg 260 on 20%nitro it is much cheaper to run. Good luck with it and let me know how it goes. Adam has a 46 on his hovering cobra and it seems to go well ask him what to use on the 55ax. Cheeers steve. |
