Prop Selection
OK next question, feedback on prop selection.
I hear that CF props are quieter than wood, Is this correct?
What size prop are we using on a QQ 102" Yak and a DA 100 on cans?
Thanks

RE: Prop Selection
i have used several props on my QQ 102 with a DA100 and stock DA mufflers. i like the xoir 27-10 best over all. for all around flying i like there 26-12 but landing on our 300' run way it caries a little to much speed and the 27-10 slows down more. the mezlic(spl) 28-10 also is a great option.

CF props are twice as noisy as wood,,,and you have a prop strike with CF be ready to send the motor back see if you twisted the crank or not,,

RE: Prop Selection
I have a QQ 102", DA-100 with cans. I started out using the PT 27x10. VERY quiet prop but spool up wasn't fast enough. Downline breaking on this prop was great too. I recently switched over to a Vess 27A. Unbelievable difference in thrust, throttle response (extremely fast spool up) with about the same downline breaking. I am going to stick with the Vess even though its a little louder.
