Title: ARF Flite Streak prop?
Post by: Larry Renger on November 07, 2017, 08:58:05 PM

I scored an ARF Flite Streak kit at the Golden State Championships a year ago ($30!  ;D ), and am assembling it as an electric. Motor is a Turnigy AS-3 35-36 -1050. I am thinking an APC electric 10x6 or 10x7 prop. Does that sound about right?

I went with a 9x4.5 prop

Actually, my question was not complete. I should have also asked what lines and battery to use as they all inter-relate.

Thanks for the input so far.  H^^

I'm guessing four cells if you use the 9-4.5.  I don't know what the motor's capable of, though.

On slime, it flies great with a 1/4-28 prop nut that's followed by an APC 9x4 sport prop that's followed by an OS 20FP.

Pat Johnston reports that he has been using a 4s 1550mah battery and a 10x6e on his 28oz Shark 402 which is Flite Streak sized.

I flew it today with an APC 9X6 EP prop on 52’ .012 lines. Performance was marginal. Will try a Master Airscrew 10x6 p prop next. Plenty of power margin on the 2200 3s battery so far. 2 minute flight used 23% capacity.

Thanks for all your input! H^^

This is a wood gas prop.

On 50ft. lines, the plane is flying great with this prop. Power consumption is about 250 Watts.  ;D

Weight with a 3200 mAh 3S is 30 ounces.

Here's an old video of a Electric Flite Streak with an E-flite Power 10 (1100Kv), and I believe it was 3 cell, and APC 9x6E on 60' lines
