The laminated props are only a few dollars more. No where near the cost of the carbon. You can try my Mej 20x8.

Couldn't find lam in 20x8 and got impatient. It's only fair that I should have a few props in my "prop box" too.

I used a xoar sword 20x6 on my stock eme. I liked that prop but it ripped pretty hard. I'm really happy with how the 20B is performing on the twin.
I covered my pipe tunnel so there's not a giant hole in the bottom of my plane. I cut out the covering behind the cowl/in front of the lg block for cooling. My pilot figure should be here by the weekend and I'm really looking forward to installing it.

Received the Xoar sword 20x8. Will try it tomorrow if weather is good. Looks nice!
 
My 78" EF is scheduled to arrive next week. :banana: I'm going to use the Valley View Twin 40cc to haul the mail. :flyer: I'd like to buy a Fourtitude Tank for it but I'm not sure what size to get with the 40cc engine? :facepalm: I hear it's a thirsty engine. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm using a 16oz tank. It gets 10-11 minutes of pretty hard flying and land with just enough to fuel to cover the clunk in the tank. If you're aren't going full throttle as often than you could probably go longer. Sometimes i'll land and have half a tank after that much time if i do mostly 3D.

You're going to love this plane!

Let me know if you need a 16oz fortitude, I have a brand new one that I no longer need.

I got a 16oz as well that I bought at FLI Jersey for this plane. Freight company is delivering it tomorrow now apparently. The Laser has to come first as I need to have some experience on assembling it before the next FLI.
 
Another question comes to mind! Will the 40cc engine with the straight plugs clear the cowl? I ordered the motor with the angled plugs; however, if the straight plugs clear the cowl, I'd go with that configuration because the spark plugs are so much easier to find.
