Default RE: Irvine tutor 40 question

Well, what suits the plane is the prop that flys it the way you want it to fly, and if it lives up to what you expect it to do.

What I would suggest, is what I always suggest, is to buy a few props of different sizes around you current size.. APC props are pretty reasonable, and try them out. See what you like and if what you select does what you expect it to do.

Yeah, I know, that sounds like I'm beating around the bush, but no one can realistically recommend a specific prop to you for that aircreaft/engine combination. We can just suggst a range, and you have done that yourself.

Fly it with what you have and see how it works out. Try different props. The worse that will happen is that you collect several props in different sizes.... there isn't one person here that will tell you that they have only one prop size in their collection...

Quotes because it is a cut and paste from a very similar thread elsewhere in the Beginners forum.

You will get all sorts of specific replies, use this prop, or use that prop, but you know what? It comes down to what you like and what you want your plane to do.

If you think the original was a 10-7, then pick up a 10-7 and try it out. If you don't like it.. refer back to the above quote.
