I would venture to say that the 2 1/2" would be the minimum for that engine and prop

armyguy466,

The 16X8, 17X6, and 18X6 props are used with most 26cc-30cc gassers running a two blade prop. I could be wrong but you may want to try a 15" dia. prop for the 3 blade. Let some guys chime in here that are running a three blade prop. They will know for sure.

I think Dave Brown will custom cut a spinner for $5-$10 for any prop. Call them and ask.

for the price dave brown make a just as good of a spinner as tru turn, its just that dave brown spinners tend to be a little thinner(lighter).. and that's not a bad thing if you dont over tighten them ;)

Read the newbie "Sticky" at the top of the page.

Gas throttles are typically very sensitive down close to idle
