And what a dang fine edge it is. Heard the guy who assembled it is some kind of genius...

Fellas I'm looking for some input. I have a new DLE 35 that I have been really liking. I switched props today from a xoar 19x8 (7500 rpms peak) to a protek 20x8. I took it out to the field and started it up. I noticed immediately that there was a bit of an increase in vibration, but it wasn't that bad. I tuned for max rpms and got a dismal 6100. Since then I balanced the prop. It had been fairly out of balance but I'm wondering if that would account for such a huge rpm drop from one inch of diameter. The protek is heavier and has a wider blade, but the engine I replaced with the new DLE (same displacement) turned the same style of prop at around 7200 rpms. I just can't account for such a bid drop in performance and wondering if anyone has any ideas about what could make my prop so inefficient. I was pretty disappointed with the flight performance today.

Hey guys maidened the epp extra with the omega 130g motor I picked up at wram from 3dhs and it sounds horrible after just one flight. I think the bearing is shot as it sounds like there are rocks in the motor when you turn the prop. I will call 3dhs tomorrow and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with the Omegas so early.

Thx

Maybe I'll take a video and post it. It's weird because if you push back on the prop towards the tail while spinning it by hand it goes back to silky smooth. Thats why I thought it might be a bearing. Also it still works just sounds awful and I'm sure it's not putting out as much power as it should
