Something is wrong here?

There's a 55AX, 61 FX, 75AX Where or when did the 60 AX come about?

Not familiar with an OS 60AX but as a general .60 size prop for a bipe I'd start with a 12x7.

I have an ASP .61 on an Uproar 60. A 12x6 prop works great on it.

OS tends to recommend props intended to keep noise down. Apparently noise control is a big issue in Japan.
My opinion, worth the price being paid for it, is that a lot of the props they recommend are too big.

I've used an APC 13x4W on a TT61Pro (on a trainer) and liked that conmbination. One of our club members tried this prop on a Kyosho Flip 3D, with a 61FX, and hated it.

In the end you just have to pick a prop and try it. If it performs the way you like, keep using it. If it doesn't, try a different one. Fortunately the 11 to 13 inch props likely to be used on a .61 are fairly cheap. I'd hate to do a lot of experimenting with big props.

Props are a personal thing
