If you have the clearance, go for the 11x 5, 6, or7. That's a good flying plane, and it likes to move in the air... You will really enjoy it. Even with the 11x7, it will slow down plenty for landing.

9x6 is a little light for a .46 I would think, 11x6 is maybe toward the heavy side but will work fine. 10x6 and 11x5 will work fine too.

Isn't it reving really hard with the 9x6?

In general, small diameter + higher pitch makes you faster in a straight line, and large diameter + low pitch gives you better acceleration and vertical. (think of it like high vs. low gears on a car or bicycle) So 10x6 vs. 11x5 will be a personal preference between those two ideals.

depends on what you are flying and how you fly it....

personally, my favorite prop for my OS .46 is a 12.25 x 3.75....

I LOve it!

I run the 11x6 on the Evo .46 on my LT40, and it is not too much prop for the engine. It should be a good match for your Tiger.

10-6, 10-7, 10-8, 11-4, 11-5, 11-6, 12-4, 12.25-3.75

With the 10-6 & 11-4, you would have to use carefull throttle management -- no prolonged periods of full throttle in level flight.

Best overall choices --- 11-5, 11-6 or 12-4

No one has mentioned prop brand. For your 46 engine I would go with an APC 11-5. If you get a MAS instead the prop will make lots of noise as it revs up but it will be flexing and you won't get as much pull as with the APC prop. [8D]

or if you like the MAS props, go with the Schimitar, which is pretty much the same as the APC.
