Just about to instal an O.S. .46AX in my Avistar. Any advice on propping this new combo?
O.S. recommends the following props for the AX:
-10.5x6
-11x6
-11x7
-11x8
I ordered the 10.5x6 and an 11x7... will I be close with either of these? I'm hoping the 10.5x6 will be the ticket so I can retain good prop to ground clearance.
A bad landing took out my fuse and bent the crankshaft the other day lol... I just finished re-kitting, and have some snow ski's to try out, can't wait to get back up in the sky. Ive been told the AX is an excelent upgrade for my Avi. too bad it's a forced upgrade

If it was me diSCOdAN, of the two props you have, I'd try the 10.5x6 first. I tried running 11x7's on my .46FX's and they seemed a bit too much prop. I have an old Avistar and it's a fine plane.
