Corsair Black Devil- Best propellor?

[Bobbyf]

Hi guys,

I started flying paramotors in May this year and it's fair to say I'm hooked! I read this site daily and am amazed by how much good info is on here. I bought a second hand Paramotor with a Corsair black devil engine and have had great fun flying it through the summer. I've been steadily building my hours and experience but after an unfortunate 'incident' the other day I now need a new propeller! The one I had on was a no name wooden prop, 120cm long. It flew fine to me, the engine revved up nicely and there was more than enough thrust to get me airborne. I have no idea what type it was or what the actual pitch was. My iPhone spirit level shows it to be approx 11degrees? I tried my friends 120cm 16 degree prop and the engine couldn't spin it fast enough to get me airborne. Can any of you guys recommend a prop for my engine? I can't seem to find any info about the correct prop length/pitch etc.

Many thanks in advance, Rob

Hi Bobby, and welcome to the Paramotor Club

I have bumped a previous thread about this for you to have a read though.

Good luck!!

Thanks Simon,

There's a load of good info in there. Someone who had the same pully ratio as me mentions they found the perfect prop but doesn't say what it was! If you're reading this (terry?) can you remember what it was?

PS, if anyone could recommend a good place to buy props too that would be a great help. Thanks chaps.
