Default OS 160 Drill size for prop??

I've got a OS 160 fx and a APC 18x6 prop. I need to know what size to drill the hole in the prop. Can somebody give me the drill size? Thanks

hi S/D

Please DO NOT use a drill unless you really have to.
I have a purpose made prop reamer. It's largest section is perfect for the OS160 shaft.
Your LHS should stock them.

A 1.60 has a 3/8" prop stud ( this kind of info is available all over the Net ) but you would be EXTREMELY lucky to drill it straight with a drill bit. As stated above you need something like this.
