TF cessna 182 prop?
Hi.
I have a TF cessna 182 in construction and a OS 120 Surpass III w/pump. What would be a good prop and scale prop for this combo? I do not have enough ground clearance for a 16 diameter prop and want this plane to fly scale, not to speed. I imagine that this engine is only needed at fuull power for takeoffs, isnīt it?
What idle and top rpms will the engine run with the prop you say?
Thanks.

TF cessna 182 prop?
I have an OS 1.20 four stroke on my TF Cessna. You are correct that full power is only needed on take off - then back to maybe 1/3 rd. I use a 3-blade Master Airscrew 14 x 8 and get about 10,000 rpm at full throttle. I also have a Gropner 14 x 8 but it does not fit in the spinner.
