Vess prop.

Joe smith recently installed a OSGT33 on his 71" slick and said he was going to go to a 20A vess prop since he thought the engine was needing it.

I know my slick flies great on a 20/6 xoar so the 20 A should be similar in performance.

Sweet!

The 70" Slick is a pop top machine for sure.

So a 20x6 Xoar and Vess 20A prop are the same?

Awesome pop top man...great hang time!!

If that's amateur flying then they haven't invented a word for my sorry ass flying skills.

Nothing amateur there! Pop top looks great, low inverted harriers and rock solid hovers. Nice flight.

+1! Was very good 3Ding!

I've finally got my 71 repaired and 99% ready to fly again. only waiting on a new SWB rudder arm for the new Savox 1258TG servos i installed in the tail rather than waiting on my 985mgs to get inspected by hitec. The motor box install took care of most the damage from the accident and a very generous donation from a 70" slick provided all the pieces to repair the outer sides of the fuse. considering mine were splinters it made it very nice to not have to rebuild the wing tube, wing bolt, and anti rotation pin holes. would have been very difficult to get them repositioned correctly. I cant wait to get her airborn again! This is by far my favorite plane and it has been down for entirely too long

thas an awsome rebuild right there.

Wow, very nice! I think that is one of the few that started off worse than mine. It's a little scary getting them back in the air after that much work, but there's only one way to find out if she'll hold... time for the pop-top test!!!
