yup 15 with a cold plug, then let her howl the .53 has less compression to start with

What would you all use on a sport plane with this engine? On something like the GP Viper 500 the 8.8 x 8.75 would be fine but has anyone used something like a 9x8 on a plane like a Kelly or the Revolver? Would a 9" prop be slightly too small for a 6 lbs plane?

RE: A home for my Rossi 53
i went to my local field and asked, i was told it was either a 40 or 45. this was told to me by someone with racing experience. he likes rossi and REALLY wanted me to sell it to him. i said that i have a home for it in the works on my bench.
sorry for the fuzziness my wife is out with the good camera, so i just used my phone for pics

I tried a 9x8 on my F20 with the rossi 53..........Slow to get off the ground and sluggish in the turns, not very fast on the straightaways[:'(]
I put a 10x7 on it and it went much better. Save the 9" props for your viper
