Hi Randy,
I won a K-77 in a raffle last year. I wanted to build something for it but that hasn’t happened and not likely to anytime this year. So I’ve decided to buy one of the SV-11 ARFs for it so I’d have a decent glow plane this season. I’m currently flying the electric SV-11 ARF and very happy with it. I figured you would be the best to tell me what prop to start with on it. I’d rather not start with real expensive carbon props.

Thanks, Matt

Matt I have one on the Muffler from Kaz and use a Rev Up 13x5 which has 4.5 " Pitch works well around 8700 rpm 64 ' eyelet to eyelet lines.
Airplane is 62 oz and about 660 square inches. works well.

Hi Matt

For cheaper props try a 14 x 5 wood, plastic or 13.5 x 4.5 , You can trim the 14 inch prop down if it gives you precession problems, trim 1/4 inch at a time. Hint you can run a little larger wood props than plastic ones
Those will get you close
