I just want a good sport plane. So a 13 x 6 for the best performance????

Status: offline 		You could put in any good .40.

Avoid an .40LA though as it is less powerful than a standard .40.

Prop size is determined by what you are trying to achieve along with the engine size you used.

I flew the plane again today, this time with a MA 11x7.

I liked the speed and performance.

I may try a 10x8 to see if I can get more high end RPM's out of the plane tradiing off it's existing ( almost unlimited ) climb rate.

I've had no problems with the new stock elevator even during hard snaps.

Status: offline 		Polecat .50 with O.S. AX .46 engine, dubro muffler extension, Mac muffler pipe, MA 11x8 prop.

Minimal cowl cutting needed, and the engine is almost completely hidden.

Note fuel dot at tip of chin faux oil cooler intake.

The right cheek hole is for the ignitor.

Status: offline 		Have you seen this one?

Click me!

BTW: Mine seems considerably faster than the one in the video.

My level, full throttle flying speed appears to be about the same as what the pilot achieves in the video with a full throttle dive, as the plane passes by.

I also get MUCH quicker rolls.

Status: offline 		Yep seen that one. Probably becuse that plane is electric and the one you have uses a .46 when the recommended power is up to a .46
