Super Tigre 60 fuel and props
« on: August 03, 2020, 01:18:21 AM »
I have a Super Tigre 60 powered Urtnowski Tsunami and after 18 years of sitting there I would like to fly it again.  Can't remember what fuel or prop I was using.
 It was run on 10% nitro and a wood prop, that's all I remember, and it's a Randy Smith ST 60 engine, Tongue muffler with less than 20 flights on it.  Would appreciate hearing suggestions on prop diameter, pitch, and oil percentages. I'm sure the prop would be a rev up 13x5 or 6, the fuel 22% half castor half synthetic???

Hi Kevin,
  From flying with Windy, we still use Powermaster 10/22 with good success. Props used include 12/5, 12/6, 13/5, 13/6...and both wood and composite will work fine. Windy said grab a handful of props, try ‘em out. Keep a record of what works.

O.K. thats a picture .

Was a pile of ' 90 ' C F 4 blade etc , ex Urtnowski , on classifieds , a while back .

THINNED & whittled , and tarted up , they spin with less load . The top Flight etc lumber .

Useing a virneer to run along length , if youve scrawled some referance lines spanwise to chew back to , use a bastard file for reshaping .

If you repeatadly swap ends Ea 4 or 6 strokes , keeping the same angle & pressure , they cut in even .

The beech ' rainbow ' props are soft , narrowed one ( as they seem to get awfull tourgue swing in corners )

Laying out another 13 inch to narrow semi Folkerts scale like , to try on a FSR 45 in the Folkerts . Semi symetrical lowering the pitch .

Theyve used 4 & 5 pitch on L Js , As youre motor frees off , itll be happier on more prop . But dont overload/ overheat it .
hence the ' word or two ' on THINNING .



Youll get massive torrque reaction on a heavy / bulky prop , gotta Rabe Rudder hooked up ? .

HI Kevin
I used  23%  oil  half castor in the  ST60, that is a very good blend  to use,  As far as nitro, we used  5% in cool months, upping  to 10% in hotter  summer months,  a  13 x 6 prop is  the  go to  one  to  start with, The  ST 60 like a  4cycle  run  with 2 cycle  across the  tops  of maneuvers, They will  also last  longer  with this type run.  Stay away  from having  to run them  harder, The  ST 60 beats itself to death if ran too hard. Otherwise  you will have a  great motor  for a long time.

I also have a hand laid  Bolly clone  13 x 5.5  that is  excellent  for the  ST 60, or other  ones like it, Bill Suarez  and  several other  pilots used this same  prop on their  ST 60s, as  well  as  many that ran my ST60s    And  this  Carbon prop will  out perform  any of the  wood  props  you are told  about
