I have a 120AX on my Seagull Edge 540. The engine is great. I was wondering if going to a 16x4W would be a problem. Right now I have a 16x8 and I have trouble slowing it down. I have a 4W and was wondering if you guys thought it would be a problem to run this prop on it. Thanks for the help.

I think the 16x4W would be a bit small. I'm currently using a 16x6 and the 120AX is turning 9,600, which I believe is about 600 rpm over peak power. You would get even more rpm out of a 16x4W, I think. If I could fit a 17x6 prop in the spinner I'm using, 2.5", I would go with that size prop.
