Default About the Prop reamer

You said that you were going to purchase an OS .46 engine......if you buy any APC prop such as the 12X6 or the 11X6 or the best : 12.25X3.75 , I doubt you are going to have to ream the prop.

For your first plane, I'd get the 12.25 X 3.75. This prop will give you the climbing power you are going to need to get out of problem situations, takeoffs will be a breeze, and also a nice slowing action when you land. Just be sure to buy more than one prop A very useful tool to purchase is the prop wrench, it can take out glow plugs, and fits a couple of different prop nut sizes.
