Hi,
I would like to know which propeller to use, because OS doesn't recommend any propeller size for the break-in, only this:
Sport 12X7-8, 13X 6-7
Can I use an APC 12X6 or what?
Thanks

Is there anything "touchy" for the tunning and breaking-in with that engine that I most know?

I don't know, it's just what the manual says
For my new 55AX, I know I've been enjoying 5pitch props on my previous planes with the 46, so I went to a larger prop diameter with the same pitch for the bigger engine. I imagine this will give me a bit more pull without increasing my speed too much. But of course I'll have to try it and see what happens. I also bought a 12x6 as I heard the plane flies well with that setup.

Yep and that's why I have so many props these days. Trying an odd ball prop has often given me some wonderful surprises. I spend A lot of time with A new plane changing props.
I like A lot of pull with the slowest speed I can find so I have A lot of low pitched props, even been trying out some of the 3-D props I have never used before and found I liked some of them.
I have been nipping off the tips of A few too, I'm having A ground clearence problem on A couple of planes, if I bounce on that three point they get just A bit shorter.
