<DIV>The gentleman said he was looking for a prop to use with a stock muffler. This appears to limit the choices to APC 13X8, 14X7, 15X6 and maybe a 14X8. In my readings and experiments with this engine on a stock muffler it seems the APC 14X7 seems a good and popular selection.</DIV>

<DIV>Piped correctly, this engine has enough grunt to turn much larger props. I've seen it turn a 17x10 cut back to 16" on a 81/2 pound model. Nat Penton had it on his VooDoo Xpress with a stretched pipe (60 sized), and it ran around 7600 rpm. Very nice performance; would hover at half throttle.</DIV>

<DIV>The 14X7 seems to be popular with people flying the widebody60 with OS90FX with a stock muffler. I used a 13X8 apc with this engine on a Excelleron90. Flies nice; but did not have enough vertical for me on the stock muffler.</DIV>
