Stuart ST and Mamod ME3 prop sizes?
« on: July 28, 2017, 02:58:48 pm »
The thread title is self explanatory. I have recently bought a ST Plant and a Mamod ME3 and have plans for both but have no idea about prop sizes, can anyone give me a good starting point for both props. Many thanks.

Bonjour Victor,
Could you tell us how many cm3 your machine is ?
I would agree with Gerald and suggest a 4 blade propeller (Propshop steam class for example) ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl2NCWmyXA
