Default RE: Final setup details on my new gas plane!

ORIGINAL: gagallagher04401

Yeah people have mentioned giong with a bigger prop 20x6, 18x10. Plane has a 18x8 on it. I have no idea how to choose a prop for it. Engine is a CCRC 40cc engine.

IT will fly with my 18x8 right?

Thanks
George
18x8 should be fine. My buddy has a ccrc 40 and he has a 20x8 PT carbon fiber prop turning about 7500rpms. Your 18x8 should turn about 7000rpm or so, new. It will get stronger as it gets more run time.
