Default Test props

Any of my customers currently flying a G26 with a Mejzlik 18-6 out there ?
I'm getting a few new wood props made just for this engine..I need someone to test and compare with the Mejzlik...The props will be here in a few days, let me know
Attn Moderators, this is not selling on the forum

I wouldn't call it selling. More like FREE research and developement for the rest of us modelers at your expense. Can't be mad about that. Sounds to me like your sending test props out to guys running your conversion so that you can get RPM data on the new props.

Well, your not doing it right. You need to put all the pics and prices on your website, then have your customers put weblinks to your site, in their signatures.

Hey everybody,

Ralph at RCIGN has a new line of wood props that have been specifically made for his custom G-26. He's looking for people that want to try them out if they are currently running a Mejzlik prop.

If he was to e-mail a picture of them to me I would be happy to post them.



Just in case, Ralph.

I'm running an APC 18x6W on the G-26 in my Funtana 90, is that not good enough for a free test prop.

I will have to get some more made..
Haven't seen them myself yet, the first two are going directly to the first tester...
We're hoping to find a good wood prop comparable to the Mejzlik, but about half the cost...
Gotta be an 18 inch diameter for the best thrust...
Maybe we should be like the 50cc guys...."My 50cc brand X prop turns a 24-8 prop faster than a G62"
Gee whiz,I wonder why the rod bearings are making clanking noises..

How 'bout this one.

My 50cc (insert brand of engine) turns a (again, insert brand of prop) 24-10 prop at 6,200 rpm. I wonder why there is a big depression in the top of the piston?
