What size prop should I use?
I have a MonsterPower 10 Brushless Motor I'm going to run on 3 cell LiPo. Would like to pull about 25 amps. The specs. on the motor are as follows:
Model #: Monster Power 10 (63M50)
Kv: 1100Kv
Input Watts: 375W
Resistance: .04 ohms
Idle Current: 2.10A
Continuous Current: 30A
Max Burst Current: 38A
Cells Ni-Cd/Ni-MH: 6-10
Cells Li-Po: 2-3
Weight: 5.0 oz (140g)
Overall Diameter: 1.4 in (35mm)
Shaft Diameter: .16 in (4mm)
Overall Length: 1.65 in (42mm)
Prop in the 9 to 10 in dia. range. Trainer like performance in a 2.5 lb plane. flat bottom wing.

hurkey,
i have found that the exceed monster power motors are very close in specs to the E-flight line here= http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...10A#quickSpecs
check it out on horizons site they suggest 10x5 to 12x6 props for there 10 so at least you have a good starting point.
hope this helps a little
