    3w 110 cs Prop size

    Hi all,
    I am considering a scale project and have an almost new 3W 110cs, or a well broken in 3W 106 cs to put into the plane. My question is I have no choice but to use standard muffs on this plane, and would like to spin the Falcon civilian 30-10 wood prop. Do you think the 3 dub would turn this?
    Thanks

    Brad, I think you'd definitely be pushing it, especially with wood although I have no experience with that prop. For a scale project it may work but rpm will be way down. I think you'd be looking low 5's or even into the 4's.

    Which scale project you looking at?

    Hey Jack, thanks for the info, I figured if it turned around 5700 ish I would be ok with it.
    As far as the project jury is still out, just would like to do something different, I have enough acrobatic style planes. I got a great deal on this 3 dub 110cs, and just thinking of something for it. Maybe the civilian 28-10 would be better on the standard mufflers?

    Ya Brad....for sure stick to the 28/10...I think it'd be $$$$ flushed with the 30"!!

    I used a 29x10 on a 40% cub with a CS110. It performed very well for the weight. A 30x10 would be a good work out for a 110.

    Nope it is sitting on a Carden I am Building. I replaced it with a DA 150l.

    Sorry I missed your question. That is correct. I used standard mufflers. The cub flew great but needed, a lot of lead to balance so I used a larger engine. In my opinion the 3W 110 has a pretty good power curve. Unlike some of the other engines on the market they don't display the high rpm numbers with the larger props.
