<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Joey Hayes was running the 15-11 4 blade on
his 140DZ in a Partner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FWIW - I use the same throttle technique in snaps
no matter what prop I am running.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back in the old days when 60 2Cs ruled, 4Cs were
not in favor because they were different - even after the point at which it
became obvious they had more power (owning to the 2:1 displacement
advantage). Change takes time, even when the change is for the
better. Many guys don't like the 3 or 4 blade prop at first, but given
time to get accustomed to the differences, most never go back to the 2
blade. And just like the 2C / 4C - the best setups and techniques for a 2
blade do not directly translate to a 4C - there is both an aclimation period and
a learning curve.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mike,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>14.5-12 works on the 140...also a 15-11 will load
it a bit more but will work. Central has them or can get them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not totally sold on the 3-4B props...But I
have been playing with one on the 160DZ turns the 17-12 std APC at
8600-8800...Yesterday I was turning the 15.5-12 4B at 8800 in PHX in the heat
of the day(4pm) at 113degs...and it had good power and
performance....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Brakes are nice but it does some other things
both good and bad....It seems to keep the model from coasting through
things....But on the other hand spool up time is not as good....This has
always been my complaint with the 3B and 4B props...Those I have seen fly the
3B successfully like Dave Lockhart...the horizontal snap-roll combos needed a
different technique....Dave was throttling up during the last rotation of the
snap...so that when the rotations stopped the motor was pulling and then he
was pulling the power back a little in the following roll combo... I was never
as good as he was at throttling during the snap. I just found the 2B props
better for me in this case....I found the problem to be even worse when
running the 2 strokes...But Dave to his credit made it work. However,
in the current Prelim and Finals sequences we don't have any of these
horizontal snap-roll combos....A roll then snap will not be as bad....but the
snap then roll was tougher with these props.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After flying with Quique at the NATS I wanted to
do some more experimenting...I had the prop already getting dusty...Besides I
moved it from CO-CA-GA-NC-AZ all in the last year or 2 and I was looking at
playing a little....Besides Quique made it work very well....His model was a
softer sound and quieter than the Electric.....so we are playing with it. The
OS 140(EFI) on 30% nitro turns the same prop at about 7800 and still has good
power for the Prelim sequence...I did not fly my friends model through the
finals pattern with it....I know that my light Supreme (10.3oz) doesn't
care....The overall speed management of the props are different and takes some
getting used to.</FONT></DIV>
