timing and prop ?

[davey]

Just got my Leopard 4082,,,,1500 KV and t180,,,whats the best timing for it,, and a starting point for a prop,......thanx Dave

I believe 15 degrees, But see what others say as well. Martin.

[davey]

yes 15 default.....I guess I'll try,,,as for the prop is the 445 a good start or a little small

445 is a good start. I'm running a 645 with great results. No temp issues.

Dependes on the motor wind. That information is normally provided by maker and seller normally should provide that info. Here's a perfect example. For what I know the 4082 1500kv is "Y" wind, but the very similar 4082 1450kv is "D" wind. The Y wind at 15 should be happy and should run good at that timing, but run 15* on the "D" wind and you will have problems.

To answer your question 15 on that motor is fine.

(i run my leopard "y" winds on seakings a 15, but I run my d winds at 7.5 which I may actually lower a little).

Start with the X445. You may be able to use an X447/3, but check temps.
