What Prop Size?
What is a good prop choice for a Sachs 5.2?
Tried a 24x10 was at 7400 rpms.
What will a 24x12 do????
A 26x10 spins 6200 but I don't have much clearance.

Hey schmacka!!
I would try the 26 X 10 if possible on a big bipe and hope I didn't need the clearance 
And BTW, that is a really nice plane!!
I see your club is in Lake Dallas...man I go to Lake Dallas all the time..where is the field located?? I have a buddy who lives on the lake, right near where Main Street goes into the boat launch/park by the old Lake Dallas dam. I always wanted to check out some flying sites when I'm down there.

Yep Thats it, Go through the tool booth and follow that road straight, it will curve to the right about 1/2 mile and the field is on the left just before the dead end.

Cool schmacka!
That really did turn out nice..What is the Pitts in your Avitar?? I'm building a Bob Dively Pitts S2.
Your bipe has an excellent scheme on it..is it original or modeled from a full scale? Really looks great on that plane.
