Default RE: OS 95AX...

Well, I have the 1.20 AX and keep the RPM below 10K. I don't need the speed, I need the power. So, I prop it for power and not speed, meaning a power pitch (low number) and a large diameter.

I fly with a 15-8 or a 16-6. Not that I would recommend that prop for your 95 AX, however, it all depends on what kind of flying you want to do. With either of those props, I can pretty much pull to vertical and climb straight up.

Speed is not important to me as much as pulling power. As they say, stump pullers.

Prop it to whatever you want to do. You have a decent prop on it, so if it flys well with what you already have, then make adjustments as you see fit and move up or down in pitch and diameter as you see fit until you get what you want. No one can really recommend a prop for your plane/engine combination. And, as said, you already have one that it flys with, so you definitely have a starting point.

Hey, ask John Buckner about his prop collection some time. I'm sure he will show you the picture. You too can get a wall decorated with props!!! And with that sort of selection, you can do something that we all do.. play around some afternoon with a box full of props until you have one that suites your needs.
