TGS Sport 6x4E Precision propeller

 tania 12 points

NORMALY,6" is 15,24 cm but my props are all 15.6cm.At you plane you have to be a little carrefully about alterations.is your motor the right one? if yes,or you have to get the motor mount about 1 cm higher because the fuselage is moving a little at loups,or try another prop in case that has a falt, either try a prop 5x5 if you have, either by cutting the fuselage at the place that prop hits, you have to reinforce the place with some epoxy.hope i help.

6.29921 is close enough to 6" to call it 6". If that small amount of difference is a problem, (unlikely) switch to a 5X5 prop.

 EffinA 1323 points

Slightly? Cut the tips off, and re-balance the prop.

 tania 12 points

or change motor

 EffinA 1323 points

Changing the motor mount MIGHT work, but not changing the motor.

 MasterB 106 points

Just shave off some foam off the fuselage where the tip of blade touches it. It's much easier than cutting off the tips and rebalancing (not to mention that you should not cut the prop tips as it WILL affect performance)

Yes I am using that prop, it's perfect.

 zedooo 171 points

why and how not? it works on the 1.1!!

 zedooo 171 points

yes, absolutely!

Actually just checked its running anti clockwise viewed from the back, just put the 5X5ER back on

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hey Crusty ,it dose not matter which way it runs.because you only need to change 2 wires from esc to motor in order to reverse rotation(when doing this side thrust angle if any needs to be taken into account).this one, TGS Sport 6x4E Precision propeller depending what brand you like yes it runs anti clockwise.just a thought =with pusher setups looking from the back when you instore the prop the number on prop 6x4 must be facing the motor . good luck

 Drugos 1977 points

Some props are designed specifically for pusher planes.You can use this prop both as a pusher or as normal prop.

 Ral fRotten 1077 points

If you have two motors on the one plane and you want one to be a counter rotator you will need a pusher prop.

 jokerrc 39 points

the prop works the same pushes air does it not ? on a pusher were motor is facing rear ,in most cases always mount prop with numbers printed into the prop to the front , of the plane ,

 zedooo 171 points

Not every prop has the numbers printed on the right side. Dangerdan, you do it like this. The motor always rotates in the same direction, if it's forward or back mounted. For your setup, the motor need to rotate clock-wise (if you look the Bixler from the back to the front). You mount the prop si that the fatter (leading) edge of the blade goes in that direction. target=_blank>

 EffinA 1323 points

There is another factor, which is front and back to the prop. generally, the front of the prop must face forward on the aircraft (even on a pusher). Any printing on the prop will almost always face the front. If a prop is put on backwards, it will be less efficient, and may not fly at all. The side with the most curvature is the front of the prop, it is hard to explain, but when you see it, it will make sense.

 Ral fRotten 1077 points

The side of the propeller blade that has a high point always faces the direction the plane is going, pusher or puller it's the same, you just have to change direction of the motor to suit left or right rotation.

 AndreDal 92 points

I use this prop with D2826-6 2200kV motor. Pulls about 31A at 3S LiPo. A lot of thrust.

 Michael 28 points

That's alot of thrust for such a small (3 lbs)prop, you might want to consider going to an 8" prop and lower kv motor to increase efficiency.

 Nick107 106 points

This is the best prop for the bixler, i got it , and much people agree with that too

 ccrawford 18 points

Yes. This is the recommended prop upgrade for Bixler. Give it a try!

 ADUC.HeliME 183 points

Yes, but it will not fit on the stock prop adapter. You will need to file out a little bit of plastic from the prop so it will fit on. I did it with a rats tail file and it is totally worth the effort.

 tastybaklava 45 points

Not sure about that, Aduc. Mine went straight on without the need to file it.

 Ral fRotten 1077 points

Good for you gsantos!

 Dan O. 402 points

Might be a bit large, I use a 6x4 on an 1800 kv motor and it pulls nearly 20A. On a 2200 kv motor the amps will be much higher.

 Arxangel 909 points

What way the motor will turn depends on the prop. If the prop is designed to be pusher, the motor will turn one way, if the prop is a normal prop, the motor will have to turn the other way. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter which way the motor turns, as long as it is the right direction so that the prop is pushing air.

 n00lesd 51 points

true, but whit this prop its clockwise since its not a pusher prop. and it works great whit the bixler.

 Arxangel 909 points

Just balance the prop if you wish and you should be fine. I am sometimes using these props even without balancing. In general they are pretty well balanced out of the bag.

 n00lesd 51 points

i would rather just sand the heavist side. using tape isnt to good, usaly very little u need to add, so better to sand off the other side

 Arxangel 909 points

Not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking how to balance the prop, or which side is front and which side is back?

 eben_r 34 points

Please let me know which side would be front and which side is back when viewed from the tail end of the Bixler. By the way i was referring to the comment from ADUC.HeliME (159 points) on the precision and non precision side. "I run this prop on my Bixler with the stock motor. You will need to file out the centre of the prop (non precision side) only slightly because the stock motor is not a standard size. Then use a ring adaptor (included) to make the prop have a snug fit on the precision side. I used a rat tail file I had in the garage. Buy a couple and give it a go! It makes the Bixler fun again after you are comfortable with the stock prop."

 Arxangel 909 points

When you look at the prop, usually the front side is a bit more rough, and the back side is a bit more shiny. Furthermore, the front side of the prop has the prop size on it. Look at it, and when you find the little "6x4" engraving, this is the front side. If you look at the picture above, this is the front side of the picture - the part of the central hub with the 4 little dots. Usually the back of the prop is the part where you insert the prop adapter.

 eben_r 34 points

The side with the "6x4" engraving and the 4 little dots are on the same side in this prop. When i fit this on the shaft of bixler, should I be able to see the 4 little dots when I view them from the tail of the bixler.

 Arxangel 909 points

No, you shouldn't. The dots and engraving should be pointing forwards (towards the motor on the Bixler). The side with the dots and engraving is the front side of the prop.

 Arxangel 909 points

You have to mount it the opposite way. That would give you the best efficiency. The prop has to always be pointing forward.

 n00lesd 51 points

? prop is mounted the same way whit a pusher setup. just make sure the prop turns the right way.

 Danos 16 points

aRRGH which answers correct and what way shud the prop turn:P sorry noob n even bigger noob to pusher setups

 Arxangel 909 points

When the plane has a tractor (pulling) set up, the prop rotates to the right. When the set up is a pusher and you use the same prop, you use the prop the same way, but you rotate the motor, so it will spin the the wrong way so you have to change the direction of rotation of the motor. Otherwise, you can get a pusher prop, that is meant to rotate to the left, and does not require a reversal of the motor direction.

 n00lesd 51 points

so in easy terms, when u look at plane from tail and towards prop it should turn clockwise whit this prop.

 Danos 16 points

Thanks noodlesd

 Nick107 106 points

I*ve read that 5-min epoxy works great, the incluided epoxy its not good. and use CA foam safe for the control horns

 glenn_mech 315 points

use the foam safe glue.

 n00lesd 51 points

i used a 45min epoxy, realy strong and great to work whit. and u dont have to hurry to glue the parts.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

I think this will be too small.

 lamakazzz 14 points

Hi! wilga needs 8*6 3-blade propeller like this www.link is on BK but you can use this www.link that case you have to replace 2 wires between motor and ESC to contr rotate the motor spinning. BTW, you can use 9*6 2-blade propeller like www.link

 Geoff 40 points

it really depends on the weight of your plane and the flying characteristics... the motor you are looking at should list the amount of thrust you the different sizes will give you. If you are doing basic flights a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio... with that said, watch out for the high torch blades you can invert your bottom winged planes (war birds) pretty easily.

 larsfl 1 points

Yes! I'm using it on my Bixler, major improvement, much more power. Reccomended.

 ADUC.HeliME 183 points

Yes, but if you are using the stock motor you will need a round file to take out a little bit of the inside material to get it to fit on the prop adaptor. But it is totally worth it!

 Drugos 1977 points

Yes,you can use this prop in your Bixler for bettter performances.

 mena142 741 points

Yes, this is the prop upgrade for the Bixler. You will have to widen the hole tho.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Yes, a popular pusher size

 grieverance 31 points

Thank you for helping guys.

 grieverance 31 points

Thank you for helping guys.

Great upgrade . Draws around 15 to 16 amps under full load with stock bixler motor. Flying time is quite a bit less . Very important to get the hole centered when drilling out for ballance . I have the ac375 spinner ordered so hope there will be no drilling needed again.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

About 10mm. TGS props have deep hubs, so I always get long shaft adapters

 davepcb 14 points

The ID id .300 in, 7.6mm. The advantage to rings is they can be used on many aircraft with different size shafts. I save the rings as they can be used as spacers. about .125 in, 3mm deep. Need a reamer to remove the lip.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Davepcb has it right.

 mena142 741 points

The AXN uses a 5x5 prop from what I know. You can try and measure the distance from the motor axle to the tail boom, and check if you have at least 3" of clearance to mount the 6" diameter prop. The 6x4 would give you more thrust but less speed, thus, alowing you to fly slower.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Well answered

 grieverance 31 points

This fit bixler just nice. Better than stock. Cheers

 am1sh 10 points

I have this prop installed on my AXN. It fits well and works just great. It does make the plane go slower but the AXN is fast enough. I never fly with full throttle. This prop also eliminates the nose dive you get when you hand launch the AXN at full throttle.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Any advice about supply will be unreliable. Stocking estimates are "stock CS policy replies" that are vague, indeterminate and imprecise. Do not pay on back order etc. Wait until resupply then order. If needed urgently, go to another Chinese supplier - there are others if you check the web! I speak from experience - I once ordered and pre-paid an item noted as restocked in three weeks and subsequently waited and emailed and waited and emailed and in the end I cancelled after six months when

 MasterB 106 points

You can get this propeller locally, it's very popular... I cancelled my order after waiting a while and ordered from another supplier.

 Tom Paulus 14 points

It is in stock now!

 Wen Yong 4 points

check regularly. i have ordered mine and waiting fror it to be delivered.

 mena142 741 points

You cant mix products from different waarehouses in one same order

 wacky 6 points

You´ll have to pay a separate shipping for this.

 ADUC.HeliME 183 points

You will need to make 2 separate orders and pay shipping on both.

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Your order will be held back until all is in stock.

 Drugos 1977 points

You can't because Hobby King doesn't split orders.

 waterlogged 2701 points

As long as you order them seperately which means paying for them seperately and paying two lots of freight there's no problem. And yes they will arrive in two parcels.

 Drugos 1977 points

Hobby King says 10-25 days but I waited over 1 month before they came in-stock.

 Didier14 1 points

Thank's Drugos

 OldFartFlyer 1319 points

Notices about out of stock HK items are highly unreliable. I never do back orders and pay in advance. Once I had to wait for more than six months and HK then admitted that an item I had prepaid and ordered was unlikely to be supplied within the then near future. It had originally been advertised as re-supply in three weeks!

HK needs to give quality information that is utterly reliable. If you need this item urgently, obtain elsewhere. If not urgent, request email on re-stocking and purch

 Didier14 1 points

Unfortunatly when I ordered this item either it was marked as available or I didn't noticed it was on back order. Overmore this item was not the most urgent the others are and now I have to wait during an unknown time...

 krusher00 1 points

From previous orders and other users it seems as though the max time the HK website displays for items on backorder is 30 days so even if you call and their system says 30 days away, it could be longer than this. I recommend ordering things that are in stock separate to those out of stock so you aren't left waiting! :-)

 Didier14 1 points

I cancelled this item in my order and replaced it by another equivalent one. HK did it and my order has been shipped.
Thank's to all of you.

 waterlogged 2701 points

Unfortunately I rely on the old saying They get here when they arrive. Better than that it's impossible to say. I must admit I wonder why things are out of stock when I see the company who manufactures the item stating they can build 20,000 units a month. Due to the very low markups HobbyKing has on it's stock I'd imagine it*'s more a matter of ordering what they can afford and not what they need. It's the same with you and me and every other hobbyist. We'd like to buy many more planes but we ca
