Default 4 stroke vs. 2 stroke prop

Can some one tell me the difference in propellers? I see some are listed as 4 stroke, some are pattern and so on. Will some one educate me? What if I use a 4 stroke prop on a 2 stroke?

4-stroke props generally have slightly wider blades, to take advantage of lower rpm running. You can use any type prop on any type engine, some just work better than others for a given application.

Thank you... Good information from both of you! The Prop charts will come in handy. Now all I have to do is come up with a good plane to put my 23cc (1.4 ci) Glow moter into. Wish me luck!
