I used a Super Tigre S45K ABC that I had, the design is about 15 years old, the ones that were made in italy with the old "tuned pipe muffler" it's brand new out of the box. What prop size would you recommend for 3d flying and what size for general sport flying? Im in Denver Colorado so about 5300 ft elevation, airs kinda thin here.

I'l post some pictures as soon as I can.

Thank you in advance.

At your elevation you are going to be hurting on power to begin with. Might need to run higher nitro fuel to get decent power. Personally i have no experience with that particular engine.
