Hi guys,
I have a .91 FX mounted on my Extra 330S airplane, and was wondering what the ideal prop would be for this engine ? I used 14x6 for a few flights, but some people said that this could be too much for this engine. I am using Bisson pitts stlye muffler and the engine is cowled. I was being recommended to use a 13x8, so before making the switch, i thought to ask everyone here.
Thanks for sharing !

Gaurav,
You need to judge yourself whether the prop performed as intended, if not then you can experiment and see what you like.
A 14x6 is in the middle of recommended size and hence should neither be underloading nor overloading the engine.
