15% Cool Power (20% oil)
O.S. (so far)



I usually try the MA, APC and wood Top Flite props in varying sizes on each engine/airframe combination. I've found that, for instance, my Advance 40 with an OS FS52S likes a 12-7 APC. This same engine on one of my SPAD DPS's prefers a 12-6 MA (standard one, not the K series). I'll be maidening[:-] this same engine on an Eindecker this weekend and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it wants something different.

I think it boils down to each engine and airframe combination as to which is best. Try several and see what you like.

Have fun!
