Prop for 3W-170 classic in a CArf Gee Bee
Wondering what would be a good wheel for a 3W-170 in a Gee Bee.The motor is well broken in . Looking for speed not 3D ability so most of the props everyone recommends are not "Perfect" selections.. I have a Bolly 32X14 to try but am curious what others think.. I will be running either cowl mufflers or will build my own to exit scale cowl ring location... Would like to run cans but the sound of them really goes against the grain in a plane like this to me...

If you have the need for speed you need pitch not size 31x14-15-16 30x15-16-17 29x16-17-18 Cheers EE |

I figured the 14 pitch of the bolly would pull it well but I might have to trim up the diameter down to 30.5" or so..
