Prop for GP Cessna 182 and OS FL-70?
I am finally finishing the Great Planes Cessna 182 that I got for fathers day last year! I used an OS FL-70 4-stroke for power and I want to use a 3-blade prop for a more scale look. I know that the 3-blade will be less efficient than a 2-blade but the plane is overpowered with the .70. The plane is rated for a .40-.51 2-stroke or .52 4-stroke. Here's a link; [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUW98&P=0]GP Cessna 182[/link]. I was going to use a 12x6 or 13x6 2-blade, but I can't remember the reviews from RCM/MAN. I guess I need to go back and read them again. Any ideas as far as diameter and pitch, 3-blade 11x6 or 12x6?
Thanks. Gene
