You mean glow and not gasoline, right?
A lot will depend on the plane and the specific engine, but it would probably be safe to start with something like a 9x6 or a 10x5. A really strong .32 would probably do OK with something as big as a 10x6. Just watch it for signs of overheating and experiment a bit.

you mean a .32 glow engine? Or do you mean a 30something CC gasoline engine?
If you mean a .32 glow, then I've run APC 11x4 and APC 10x5 on mine, depending on the airframe. The 11x4 was on a Waco biplane, lots of climb, lower airspeed. The 10x5 was on a small pattern plane with a tuned pipe, and on a combat plane. Mine was an OS .32F

okay, it's a field with a paved runway, the train goes by very close, it has tin roof and blue columns. oh and grills.
i'll scan some pictures (they are from when i was a teenager).
