Default Best prop for OS 46 LA on Fun Air 3D

Hi:

I just got a new Fun Air 40 3D, and was planning on installing the OS 46 LA I had on my trainer. Is there anyone out there who has experience with this combo? What prop should I use? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks and happy flying!

12/4 APC narrow blade. I sure do hate my Fun Air. Falls out of a hover, drops like a rock on landing, and it only weighs 3.7 lbs.

Agreed. Don't own a Fun Air 3D, but any 3D type plane will operate best on a large diameter, low pitch prop.

(Hope you like your's more than Ben Flyin does his.)

I suspect your LA engine might be a little overpropped on a 12x4; give it a try but plan on an 11x4 APC for better results...

I own a os 46la the best prop for break in is a 11x6, but for flight the best prop for flight is a 11x7.

I have a LA 40 in there now (way under powered) so I'm going to put back the TT46 in it.
