Default RE: help on what prop


ORIGINAL: pro150

i have a .91 on a yak 54 whith a 14-8 prop butt it comes in fast at landing what prop do i need to run thanks
Assuming the CG is good and you are flying a proper approach(angle and speed) and the plane will not slow down, there are two things you can do. If it appears the idle is to high, lower your idle setting. Propwise, you can try a 15X6 or 16X6. The lower pitch will give you less thrust at low RPM and maybe help your landing speed.
