Default RE: Pattern Props ?

Label off to balance and fly.

As far as props, I dont fly adv or masters but my airplane is capable of it. Whatever prop you use it is important that you choose a prop that allows the plane to climb and maintain momentum with authority for rolling upline maneuvers but also a prop that will fly the plane fast enough to maintain straight lines without being windblown. Also pitch selection has a lot to do with optimum RPM range for your engine.

If the prop you fly will pull you over the top with any authority on an 1/2 outside square with a 1 1/4 snap on the way up, its probably all the prop you need.
