I am building a Top Flite Mustang as Strega. I am going to use a First Place 3.2. This is a fairly strong engine for a 3.2. What would be the best prop to get the most speed out of my package. I talked to APC about it and they recommended a 18x15. What do you think?
Thanks
Kelly

I would start off with what APC recommended and go from there. You will quickly learn whether or not the motor is loaded down or is over-revving. Pitch equals speed, but you have to find the right load for the motor. This may mean different diameters or pitch combinations.

Regards,
Michael
