Help needed to pick new Propellor !

[jd7792]

I am flying a Blitz RC "Sky Surfer" which is more or less identical to the HK Bixler. The problem I have is that the prop that comes with the plane is very flimsy and plyable. I want to replace the original prop with a much stiffer one, but have no idea what I need. I'm looking to buy from Hobbyking as I have an order ready to place with them.

Can anyone suggest a prop that would be suitable? Unfortunately the listings on their website are not very helpful.

My favorite is an APC 6x3E.

My favorite is an APC 6x3E.

Unfortunately that wont fit. The clearance isn't quite enough and it hits the body. I think it will need to be no longer than @5" to allow for clearance.
What does the APC stand for? I may be able to get a shorter prop in this class if it is suitable!
Thanks for trying anyway. Any other suggestions are welcome!

APC is the manufacturer. You can move your motor back farther - mount it flush with back end of the motor pod. But, if you are doing that, you may as well put a faster motor on it. Go with a 5x4e or 5x5e, then.

Thanks, that may be what I'll do as I have a couple of bigger motors that can go on it with a 5x5. Hopefully that will do the job just nice. Ill also try a 5x5 with the current set up for interest sake.
Thanks again!
