We're really going to need to know what the reduction ratio is (or the actual prop RPM at max power) to begin to answer this. Ground clearance is also a factor in permissible diameter. Still, there aren't many guys on this list that are already flying with 115 hp engines, so you might not actually get an answer. I can tell you that Steve Makish has a Corvair that's probably putting out right at 115 hp, and a 52 x 66 Sterba prop was too much for it. He's gone to a Prince P-tip of some sort, which I'll try to find out the specs on... Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL N56ML at hiwaay.net see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford
