Use 24 x 10 wooden for maiden and once engine broke in change to 22 x 12 carbon fiber for easy cruising speed. Paul

Just don't nose over with that CF prop...it could bend your prop shaft! It happened to me with a Mejzlik CF prop on a GS Corsair. Ever since then, I stick to wood props on my warbirds.

I like the Zinger 22X8-14. Best prop for 4.2 to 4.4 sized engines. I am with fytrjok!!!!!

I agree about the prop shaft. A Ziroli P47 (or any P47 for that matter) is difficult to nose over on unless you hit a big rut or something. They have a lot of weight on the tailwheel. Like the Zero, they are a very flyer friendly warbird.

I use a Menz 22x12 on my quadra 75 in a TF giant mustang, the engine loves this prop!

Beila makes a 20" fourblade which would be perfect for the Q-65, if your after a scale look.
