I JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED A VENTURE 60 AND INSTALLED A K&B61 ENGINE. I AM A BEGINNER PILOT AND WONDER WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST PROP SIZE FOR RECREATIONAL FLYING? THANKS GUYS

Start with a 12/6 and play around from there.

Copy and paste to your pictures, then print this out, and put it in your shop!

that's weird. I have a seperate post running asking what prop I should use on my OS 46fx in a super sportster 40. I have been advised to use a 10x6 both here and at another forum. This does not fit with the chart above though...

If you look carefully at the chart you can see the 10x6 is barely out of the suggested range on the low side. IMHO the 10x6 is a little small for the FX. An 11x6 will work better for sport flying unless you live way above sea level and your engine is starving for power. I have a 10x7 on my FX with a tuned pipe and I'm turning 15,300 on a hot humid day, my little aresti will haul butt, but the engine life will be shorter. Just my $.02

a 10x6 prop in a super sportster would make for a very fast plane. try an 11x6, thats what I ran in my sportster. Then I put a tuned pipe on....yeeehaw was that a fast friggin plane! BTW, i also had a 46.fx. it makes a great combo in this plane.

A 12-6 or a 13-5 is a good place to start. I would try the 13-5 first. These should do just fine with that plane/engine combo to start. I think you want to stay away from too much pitch with that plane. It is not a high speed plane. You want more diameter for more pulling power rather than speed. I hope you enjoy the plane.
