Cafeen:
I have just finished building a deHavilland Beaver kit. I calculated it out to have a wing loading of 22.9 oz./sq. ft. The plane weighs in at 5.25 lbs, and the wings are each 32.5" to the cabin. The instructions say the plane should weigh between 5 and 5.5 lbs when finished, so the weight's right on the mid point. The full-size Beaver is a stol plane used to transport hunters/fishermen to otherwise inaccessible lakes in Canada. This model is to scale size. The wing loading is quite high I would think, to be an stol. I'm trying to find the proper size propeller for this plane, and I want to get a prop that is readily available. I'm using an O.S. 40 4-cycle. What would you suggest?
