Haven't seen one yet but I'd be willing to bet they are Xoars. Good props.

They are not the same as xoar. They weigh alot more and requrie more to balance them. I had a Tbm 22X8 on a DA 50 and it would only turn 6600 rpm, changed to xoar 22X8 and now turns 7100 rpm.

I just purchased my first Xoar prop. It's a 24-10 that I'm planning to use on a 75cc converted Stihl.

I was also wondering about the performance on the TBM props. I want a CF wingtube, Tailwheel, and spinner for the current project. Might as well get a TBM prop and try it out. I like that 25-8 TBM prop. I'm sure curious to find out how it will perform compared to the TBM 24-10. Might have to buy them both. [sm=tongue_smile.gif]

I just bought a TBM prop, it looks like an NX to me, it looks just like my NX.

One of the guys at TBM told me they are the same as the NX props. I have a 28x10 to try out. Tom
