I am just wondering what propeller did you find is flying your Skybolt the best.
I've used a 15x6 so far, but was thinking that I might be missing something...
Do you suggest I try a three blade propeller? Shall I go for a 14x7?

I have the OS 91. Surpass II with pump.

The best prop is the one that makes the plane perform the way YOU like it.

With an OS 91 Surpass (No pump) I found that I preferred a Graupner 14x7

I also like the APC 14x8. I had a Xoar 14x8 wood prop on the .91 that seemed promising but I never got it off the ground. The engine sagged (which it has never done before) so I aborted the take-off. I tried turning to quickly to avoid going off the end of the runway and the plane tipped a little and got the prop. Unfortunately I had only ordered one.

15X8 two blade, but I have a Magnum 120 on mine. I would go with a 14X8 if I had a .91. But it really depends on the pilot's flying style. I am propped for medium/high speed.
