DF Engine for a 'Prop" plane

This may sound a little CRAZY, but I'd like to use a OS77DF engine on a non-DF plane. Anyone have experience with this concept. Am I barking up the wrong tree...is this an insane idea....if not, what 3-blade prop should/can I use to tame the DF engine?

Otherwise, does anyone have a ducted fan unit/jet that I can get into at a reasonable cost?

it can be done :D ask in the Extreme Speed Prop Plane forum

as far as i know the only problem can be the less than perfect ideling control, the engines like to run flat out! [8D]

I have a OS 91 DF in a sport plane and it is extremely fast. Accelerates straight up from a hover doing vertical rolls. It can be done and works well. !0 or 15 gallons of fuel and no problems. I wouldn't thing that the 77 would have a problem either.
