Default O.S. 160FX 3 bladed prop question.

Hey all. I just finished my TT Rare Bear with an O.S. 160 Fx and pitts muffler. Can someone please give me some 3 bladed propeller choices? I am looking for a solid top speed while also having some ground clearance. With a 2 bladed 18x6 I had laying around, I only have about two inches clearance. Thanks in advance!

G'day Mate,
Put an 2 blade APC 16x14 on it, it will howl.

The spinner is cut up for a three blade, so that is what I must run....any ideas on a three blade? Thanks.

We normally use a 16 x 10 2-blade prop on the 1.60 FX...a 3-blade 15 x 10 may be OK, or maybe a 16 x 7 or 8. You'll just have to try and see.
