from .60 up to the .90 displacements?

Bob,

What I was running on a ROJ .61 was a 13X3.75 flat back Brian Eather 3 blade.
I think that it would very well on the PA .61 as well. Also a 13X4.25 Bolly 3 blade cut to 12.5" would work good too.
I don't know a lot about the 75.-90 engines but I think David used a 13X4.5 3 blade on his WC plane with a PA .75.

I'm sure others will chime in here as well shortly.

Check the Bolly prop chart that Randy has on his web site....

Noel Drindak's "We have the technology" column in the currnt issue of STUNT NEWS does a great job of citing prop choices...and these choices reflect the top flyers in the Country...

      12.5-13.5" 3-blades for 60-75s, 3.5-4" of pitch.

p.s. For reference, David's 75 setup uses a 13-4 Eather 3-blade.

PA .75 I run a 15 inch two blade and a 13.75 X 4 three blade. If I could get a bigger 3 blade I would run it. The reason to run a bigger engine is to turn the biggest prop possible. Ask Randy Smith
