OS Gold head's will turn almost anything in the 60 size prop range,
mine works best with a Master Airscrew 12 x 6
I found that a 12 x 8 made landings too exciting [X(]
My light weight ugly stick just would not slow down enough at idle with a bigger prop

Thanks for the prop info Johnpap! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Enya make a superb .60 sized job. Didn't Phil have a liking for Enya ?
BTW its not cheap but a superb piece of engineering tha will outlast - dare I say it - even an OS.
I know Enya's are great performers, I've had several, but I think Phil selected the Enya for the Kwik Fki for it's size and weight rather than it's performance. I could be wrong about that, but I seem to remember reading something along those lines.
Thanks Marty! I actually came across your build supplement a couple weeks ago while surfing. Great stuff! [sm=49_49.gif]
These engines were designed to fly pattern. As such, they were designed to turn 11x7 to 11x8 props only. No 12'' anythings, unless you're interested in overheating the engine, losing ring tension and just having an average .60 on the front.
It's early and I'm crabby. Sorry for the 'tude. <G>

Ed,
Be careful, the whole world is reading with you.
The K & B 45 RC was a wonderful engine, I did tell it often before. With 75% of engine volume the engine not even did have a ring, but you could became world champion with it!!
