best prop for OS 46SF ABC
hi guys,
I just mounted my recently broken-in OS 46 SF ABC in a GP Easy Sport and want the best performance. Can anybody with more experience with these motors suggest the best prop? Thanks in advance.

Frank,
I second what Jim had to say.
An 11x6 will give you much better flight performance, than would a 10x6, which will make the sky look like it is all uphill...
The only advantage of a smaller prop is a theoretically higher top speed.
Your engine is by all likelihood an ABN, even if the box says ABC.
The nickel is less durable than the chromium in true ABC engines.
Only if the outside of the sleeve is yellowish brass, is it really ABC.
