Default G20 prop size

Anybody running a g20 in anything close to a Hangar9 P-47...? I'm just waiting for my 3.7 lipo's, but anyway, I'm trying to decide what prop to run. Any suggestions...?

i have an old g-22 converted to e.i. by ralph cunningham.
heres what he sent back with it.
18-6 7,700 should increase a few hundred when the ring seats. this is the older version with the narrow transfers, the latter version will turn the same prop 8,000 on the ground.


when we first ran it after the conversion it turned a 16-8 8,700
now it has a zinger 16-6 4-blade, don't know what it turns it because the tach won't read a 4-blade. but it turns the crap out of it.

Thanks, I have a apc 16x8 I was gonna give a try. I think it will be a safe starting point. I have read alot of 16x8 being used with the g20's.

a 15x6 is just right, a 16x4/6 would be perfect
my dads runs great with a 15x6
