Anybody ever use a XOAR prop? Just bought a 23X8 from DA for my 50R. It looks much like a Bolly or an MSC. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these.

Thanks,
Tony M.

I ordered a XOAR prop with my last order thru DA. The props are real nice, but I have yet to run the 22 X 8 that I purchased.

Here is a link to their website:

I have been running a Xoar 22 x 8 on my DA-50 in a H-9 27% Extra 260 for months now. Performance is awesome. I have no reason to change.

I can't comment on the smaller props, but the 27x10 and 28x10 work very well. They don't rip easily and are pretty quiet running. Efficiency is good and the performance is similar to a Mejzlik of the same sizes on the same aircraft. For the price it is a very good buy.

Safe Flying!

That's okay, but can you tell me where I can obtain a 16x8, as Tarus does not seem to carry anything smaller than 18.

Try Wild Hare R/C. They carry the same prop under the Wild Hare name and may be able to provide the size you need.

Chief Aircraft also sells them. [link=http://www.chiefaircraft.com]Chief Aircraft[/link]. The smallest size I've seen there is a 17x6, which I'm running on my Saito 1.50 with great results.

Try ABELLRC.COM, click on the site map, scroll down to props. They start out at 15X6 and go up.

I would like to know who sells a 3 blade Xoar.

I am using a 22x8 and a 21x8 on my Brillelli 46. Abellrc is where I got the 21" - Chief doesn't carry it.

I'm running a Xoar 23x8 on a G-62 with EI. Its performance is nothing short of remarkable. I've bought 3, and each of them was perfectly balanced when I got them home...I may never buy another prop.

I've had 2 20x8 and both required some balancing, but pull very well on my Brison 2.4. I have a 17x6 for my Brillelli 26SS, but haven't run it yet - the 17x6 didn't need any balancing.

The nice thing about the Xoar is that they seem to have a lot more lacquer on them than some of the other big wooden props I have seen - makes them look nice and glossy, plus when you do need to balance, you're really just removing clear, not having to get into the grain of the wood and risk changing the profile of the airfoil.

Coming from a Gas Engine company I have a lot of experience with many, many props out there. Xoar props are my most recommended prop out there. I find them to be the best performing prop that I have found for the money. In many conditions they turn as fast and pull as much as CF props. These props are a vast upgrade from budget props like TF, MA. and definitly more efficient and better made than Zingers. You can't loose with these props. Do not be fooled by thier relative low cost! These props outperform other props costing 2 to 3 times as much! Xoar props are actually made by NX which is one of the largest Chinese prop makers in the world. NX makes a lot of props for ultra lights and small manned aircraft so they know what thier doing!

I have bought mine from http://www.chiefaircraft.com// Seems to take a while to get through their processing system though.

If they are made by NX, are they an NX clone? The reason I ask is I'm running a NX 26x10 on my 3w80xi. Great thust and breaking, but get the r's up on it a bit and it really howls..... [:@] The Menz and Bolly wood props are much quieter. I was wanting to give the Xoar a try, but if it's a clone of the NX, why bother........

I tried Chief Aircraft for a 20x8, and they said the order was maybe 8 weeks out. I emailed Abell RC, and got my reply right away. I've just ordered a 17x6, 20x8, and a 22x10, online, with no problems.

Did they email you a paypal bill?

I just picked what I wanted and then tried to use paypal to pay since I have a balance. It kept saying sesssion timed out and I know it wasnt an issue with me (computer guy for a living). It was a coding issue probably cookie poarsing on the site.

Also while we are talk Xoar... I saw 2 different types on the Abellrc site. Has anyone compared the normal one and the plywood one that is $5 more?

I used VISA, no hitches. I asked about the difference between the beech and the beech ply. They said that the ply prop is a bit stiffer. I went with the standard beech.
