Default RE: Nothing Standardized in This Hobby

Let me warn you about one thing so you will be mentally prepared..  When it gets to putting a prop on your engine, buy one of every brand in every size that is even close. Fly your airplane until you decide which one is best and go buy some more of those for that engine and airplane.  Take the excess props back to your shop and bring them out again when you have a similar , almost the same, engine and airplane and go through the process again.  Of course I am exaggerating, and with the advice you can get here, you may get a really good prop the first time.  I do go through a prop evaluation routine with every new airplane.
