i messed around with the recommended breakin prop on my 30, and felt it was a bit small...I have my 30 on a 1/4 H9 Cub and experimented with props, and IMO my fave prop is a Xoar 19x6, even though the 18x10 mejzlik looked awesome on her.. i get about 80-8100K rpm which is about right for the engine

From day one, I just use the prop I plan to fly the airplane with. I don't change until I find something better. In other words, no special break in prop.

Ok thanks guys, I guess I failed to mention that Im installing the 35 on A giant stick, and the 30 on a 1/4 scale sig space walker.

Put a Xoar 19x8 on it tune it and fly it . You will have to retune a few times as the engine breaks in but the 19x8 won't over load it and will give you the best overall performance If after it broken in and you need more speed you can go to a 19x10 , less speed more pull 20x6 scimitar style prop (I use the Red Wing RC 20x6 on mine )- only after a few gallons of flying time on break in with the 19x8 . On the 35 you may be able to use a 20x8 after its broken in enough.
