Default RE: prop recommendation ?
Bob,

The 13" diameter is way too much for the .46AX. I have the same engine on my OMP Edge turning an APC 11.5X4 with excellent results. The smaller diameter will allow the motor to spool up quicker and deliver quick power when you need it. The 13" diameter prop is like having a flywheel on the front......definitely NOT what you want on a 3D profile plane. You can also try the APC 12.25 X 3 .75 and this will work well also. For BEST hover and power out of a hover run the 11.5 x 4 with 15% fuel. A Tower Hobbies muffler or a MACS pipe will give you even more RPM.

Good luck and enjoy the Edge!

Jeff
