Menz v Xoar Propellors on Sky 120

I'm building a Sky 120 and going to fit the recommended Zenoah 38 engine with a 18 x 10 prop.

Now, LHS (60 mile round trip), has the Xoar but not Menz, which is/was my first choice. What are your thoughts about the different brands?

My preference is the Menz prop but I use the 19X10 prop on my 84" P51D

That's about that then. :-) 20 x 10 Menz it shall be. I'll see if LHS can get one in.

Thanks

I will admit, most of my stuff comes via the net, but every so (not very) often I get pangs of guilt and use the shop. I think it's the "Use it or Lose it" syndrome and there are bits I do need.

Anyway, with all those things in there that you didn't really know you wanted, who knows what you could come back with! :D

A 20 x 10 is too much for a 38.......that's a prop more commonly fitted to a 45 in a faster flying Warbird type.

20 x 8 is the choice for slower flying & sports models, a 19 x 10 if it's a faster flying or Warbird type.

Just re-read my last post. Doh! Typo, that should have been 20x8, not 20x10. Thanks Phil.

Still saving for my engine really, March and April are bad months for me re car tax, insurance and MoT on two cars. One of them is a "big boys toy" I'll admit, but it still needs doing. :-)
