Don't tell me you really have a .61 on a Tiger 2! These fly very well with a .45 to a .52 2 stroke, any more is overkill. But, in answer to your question, a 11X7 or 12X6 is a normal starting place depending on the type of engine and exhaust.

Mine liked a 12x6 better. Used an 11x7 3-blade for a while for ground clearance (Kaos-60..second airplane...broken props...bad landings )
I haven't broken a prop in months now... My wall needs more decoration.

I just noticed the TigerII thing. WAY OVERKILL!!!

I agree with "overkill" statement for Tiger 2.

For your references, here are the places where you can get this info in the future:

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

I have flown the Tiger 60 with an OS .61SF and a Mac's Muffler, great combo. That uses an APC 12X6 on the front.
