Re: alpha 1 prop

Like Bondo says, a 14.25 diameter X 21 pitch would be a good place to start.....
If it won't get the optimum WOT, it will be close & will be a good spare if nothing else....
Always carry a spare prop......
It isn't like getting a flat tire without a spare, cuz ya don't get to walk away.....;).......JK
