Re:OK 4 stroke. what prop & why? - 2007/02/14 12:49
When you get the engine read the manual.
There should be a recommended breakin prop. Then they will have a recommended range of prop sizes to work in.
If you overprop you can overheat and damage your engine so I would recommend sticking to the recommended range. Prop material will make a difference as well. Wood props are lighter than plastic but break easier on difficult landings. I like top flite wood and APC grey plastic props. But I have found that the APC 14x6 I bought for my Giles 202 and MAgnum 91 4 stroke will not fit on my prop shaft with the spinner I have, the hub is too thick so I have stuck with the Top Flite wood 14x6.
It's always something.
