After a 7 month long issue with 3 DLE 20's sent to me by Tower, I finally demanded a refund. They tried to make good on it but to no avail. Hand flip, starter, it doesn't matter when the engine has...

Ditto on the last post. I run 16x8x3, 17x6, 17x8N, and 18x6 props on my 20cc engines. If you have to run small props, increase your pitch or retard the timing to 20 degrees BTDC.

The MA 16x8x3 is NOT a very efficient prop. A 2-blade 16x8 will run a lot faster. I like the 3-blade for the look, and the flywheel effect for a smooth idle. I'll throw on an APC 16x8 when someone...

I have mine in a .60-size H-9 F6F. I'm using a Master Airscrew 16x8x3 prop. It flies terrific.

Properly working reed-valve engines cannot spit fuel out of the carb. Side-inducted engines are completely different and spitting fuel can be expected. The use of a velocity stack is a good idea on...

Send it back to them with a letter of explanation. They are good people and I am certain it will be repaired for you.

As I said, the MA 16x8x3. I have also used the APC 17x8N with a lot of success. Yes, I have the TF .60-size P-40 as well as the same class TF P-47. All with 20cc gas engines. I use the Xoar 17x6 on...

I have several Dle 20's and 1 VVRC 20. All are on various .60-size warbirds, and most use the Master Airscrew 16x8x3. Not necessarily the best performance, but they look great. Try one!

If I buy...

At 7.5 pounds I'm sure the VVRC 20 motivates it quite well!
