What prop do I need???

I have a Giles 202, 72 inch span, with a 1.20 surpass in it. What prop would you guys recommend for this setup?? I am going to be looking for a lot of thrust, enough for an awesome vertical. Matt

G'Day Matt,
You probably have not got enough power on tap, with the 120, for awesome vertical.
You would need a 160, 2 stroke or 180, 4 stroke to get that vertical performance you want.
Sorry, but it will fly OK with a 120, just not so good at vertical stuff.
I would try a APC 16x8, & see how you go.

I fly at 5ooo feet and use 15x8 on my 1:20s. I also use 14x7 three blade that seems to produce more rpm.
