Default Prop for 3D

I have a harrier 3D plane with a ASP108 2 stroke. What would be a good prop for 3D. Thanks

[link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFGW4&P=M]APC Wide series props[/link] something like these are nice. I run a 14x4w on my big stick for flip flop flying. Works great.

I use a prop nut with mine simply because the wide does not like to fit most spinners.

Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as you can run on the engine with the smallest pitch. This from a guy that gets excited with a 3 second hover. If you look at a Tower catalog at the props, they have APCs listed as to what they are for. You will notice things like a pattern prop having a high pitch and a 3-D prop of the same size having a very small pitch. That's just something I spotted some time ago and thought I would pass it on. It gives you an idea or starting point.
A slight dusting of snow last night. More like Dandruff then snow. Sun is out now and the views are something to see. Glad it's only on the surrounding hills and not on the streets!! Gene

lol that was funny

on a supertigre 90 my 3d prop of choice was a 15x4 apc it did about 9500 rpm /////////// i would give a 15x4 APC a try, im not sure how much stronger ASP 108s are compared to ST 90s if you start approaching 10k rpm, maybe a 15x5 apcor 16x4apc would work
