Break the engine in a bit first using a 12x6 - take the engine up to 13,000 rpm and let it run there (should be slightly rich). Then move up to a 12x8 for flight. The Mag91 runs similar to the OS91FX with that setup. You are looking for ground peak rpm somewhere around 12,500 - 13,000 with the Mag91/Jett setup. Back off 500 rpm from peak for flight.

The 11x8 or 11x9 prop will work, but the plane is sorta draggy.. seems to fly better with the 12" diameter.
