What is the correct prop size for a particular engine displacement?
I asked this question some time back, and received a link to a Top Flite site so that I could print out a graph.
It didn't print very well and is almost unreadable, so would appreciate it if someone can direct me to a ready reckoner for prop size versus engine displacement please. A link to the same graph would be be OK; different printer may help, but a new graph, or even the same one would be OK.

I prefer the prop chart at http://www.modelflight.com/propch1.html.
After I get close I calculate the volume of air moved in one revolution to determine the volume load. And then use the next up or down volume load to get the top RPM into the fat part of the horsepower curve.

Bill, that link is not working for me.
I'll try again in the morning as it may be a sit eerror, but would you mind checking it for me?
Thanks

You are correct. The period at the end of the sentence messes up the link. Sorry.
