Default Prop for 3W 106

Hey guys, after a bad landing with my YAK, I lost my brake in prop (pics).

So I need a new one. I want to try now a carbon prop, but we don't have any here in Brazil. I need to import it and this will take a really long time. Two to three months and I don't want to wait that long to fly again.

I have the HAWK prop 28x10 like a option, but I don't know nothing about it. Can you guys say something? I will use this prop just while I am waiting for the carbon prop.

And talking about carbon props, I was thinking about a Mezjlik 28x10. But I need to order some 3W parts in Aircraft Internacional and I was thinking to get one of their carbon props. They don't have the Mez 28x10 carbon, but If I buy everything in the same place, this will save me some dolars of shipment.

They have 3W Carbon Props, Biela Carbon Props, Bolly Carbon Props and Fuchs Carbon Props. I don't have any experience whit those props. So, here is the question: What of those props is the best choice and how it can be compared to Mez?

Than you guys!!

Eduardo

I run a Mezjlik 28X10 on mine and it's a great prop. If you order from Aircraft Intn'l, I think the Fuchs is the way to go.

I will be running a PT 26x12 3 blade carbon on my 3W 106CS. Have a look at the PT props, better than a Mezjlik.

Somthin tells me the 3W prop might be carved to match the 106's power band. But then having a Fuchs on would be a blast of fuchsing pulling power. Call Gerhard he'll probably tell you to get Fuchsed anyway.

PT 28x10 very quiet, tons of pull in all types of flying.

Hi guys. Thank you for all answers.

I will try the Hawk wood prop 28x10 till my carbon arrive.

I called Troy Built Models, but they don't have the Mez in stock.

I am think about the Fuchs, but now I am really intrested in this PT prop. I never heard about it.

Where I can find it?
