Hi:
I used an 11-3 wooden prop on my BG HP .40 piston and cylinder. Remember to run it fast and wet. Do not run it cold. Did you receive Instructions with your p&c?
Mr. Gardner made it very clear to me, do not use any castor oil in his p&c! He suggested 20% synthetic and no nitro! Thus far, my engine has run perfectly and still makes a very loud noise when passing over tdc.
For information, e mail Mr. Gardner as he give you the straight scoop re his products. He is a good person.
Good luck,
Frank McCune

Anything that a little lighter load than your flight prop 10-4 or 9-6 is good. 10/22 is just fine. You want it running in a two stroke but breaking 4 stroke every few seconds.

Golly, I didn't realize Motorman had a Brian Gardner ABC OS .46LA. I'm interested in your findings, Motorman! D>K Steve

11 x 4 11 x 3 will work fine Run in rich 2 cycle 2 to 3 minutes at a time, let cool run again

Pick one with no blood on it.

Perry, that is a good answer, but all of my used props have BLOOD on them!!!
