Prop Chart 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 8  
Here is a handy little guide I found made by Top Flte to give you an idea as to the size of prop to run on your engines.

I've just tried a 13 x 6 "Xoar" brand propeller on my Cermark Banchee. It draws less current than an APC prop of the same size, and turns about the same revs. I don't know if the thrust is any better, but it sure is pretty. Made of wood, and lighter weight, too.

I got it from Vision Hobbies, which is a local (Phoenix) hobby supplier who supports this Website! Way to go, Rich!

I started using the Xoar prop about 6 months ago on the advice of a friend that works for Cheif Aircraft and from that first prop I tried...I have never or will I ever use anything else. (as long as I can get Xoar)
I was talking to Rich recently and he has started selling the Xoar for the glow and gassers too. I know who to get mine from now on too!
