The 32x8 would make for an awfully powerful brake at idle on approach.

Thanks, but why the braking power over a 32-12? I don't understand this concept. With a big bi-plane and all the built in drag in bi-planes wich would be a better choice of props? I fly the thing very easy with just a few loops and rolls nothing that requires a bunch of power ALL the time. After all it is a 1930's design aircraft. The 215 puts out so much power that I fly this 46 pound plane at about 1/3 power after take off.

Thanks
