Down an inch from what you were running, and up 1 or 2 in pitch. Thats the golden rule for that. But I'd stick to a 2 blade.

I agree with running a 2 blade prop.

The theory on that is, when the blades are spinning, each one is moving in the other one's turbulence which is most minor on a two blade. A three blade or four puts the blades that much closer together and they run in more turbulence.

I it looks cool on the ground but there is a considerable loss of thrust with each blade you add. good luck in your decision.

Like Minnflyer, I use a Graupner 12 X 8 on my OS 91 in a Cessna and it does Great. I had to go to it when I had floats on it and liked it so much I left it on. ENJOY !!! RED
