Default RE: OS 120 4 stroke, 4 blade prop?

Rowdog_14 insists on using a 4 blade prop. This is fine, and the airplane will fly just fine. However, it still needs to be chosen correctly. The engine must run about 9000RPM on the ground and the prop should have ~8 inches of pitch. The diameter needs to be worked out to give the correct load.
