John Barnes-wallis Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a jetalike called a Bobcat. It has a 10cc motor on the back. With a two bladed prop it makes too much noise. I bought an extra muffler for the engine which works realy well so all the noise if prop wash. I have tried to buy a 10x6 three bladed prop and nobody makes them. I have ended up buying a 14x7 and will have to cut it down and balance it.. with kit makers doing more jet like pushers would it make sense to produce more choise in props. Thanks for listening.Yours. John Barnes-Wallis (Barney) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barnes-wallis Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have just got my three bladed pusher. I have cut it down to 10.5x7 and it looks good. Just got to wait for the wind to drop to see if it cuts the noise down. Going Combating tomorrow with a friend to trim some models for the comming comps.
