- Can anyone explain in layman's terms what and or how one decides
- which prop is proper for a particular engine or plane/engine combination.
- In trying to get my Surpass 40 on my Flair Magnatillia broken in and running I
- am trying various props. I started with a 11x6 Antique prop but the engine
- didn't seem to be able to turn it very well. I am going to try a 11x5w, and did
- try a 10x7. Isn't a 10x7 essentially the same thing as a 11x6? What does it
- mean (from a practical standpoint) to 'go up in diameter and down in pitch or
- visa versa'?
-
- Thanks,
- Doug

- PS
- If you want a great looking airplane that EVERYONE stops by and comments on,
- get a Mag. It is a real ego trip to have everyone at the field on a given day
- stop by and tell how good it looks, or nice it flies or how great it sounds!
- Can't wait to build my SE5a!!
