Prop suggestions OS 1.60

The Bolly 16.5 x 12 three blade is a MOST excellent prop on the OS1.60, also.  Brakes like hangin' a parachute out the back!

> The 17-13 is the right load and has good brakes, while the 17-12 is actually a bit light with slightly better brakes. If you are looking for is great quiet with kikller brakes, you take a 15-3/4 X 13 three-blader and heat twist the blades down to an 11 or 11-1/2 inch pitch. I'd start with an 11, and low nitro. Really strong 160 setups (with a fair bit o' nitro) can run the stock pitch. Heat twisting the blades requires a monokote heat-gun or two, and a pitch gauge. Try to twist as close to the hub as practical, which is only an inch and a half away, or so.

> I have an OS 1.60 in a Titan, Mueller header, Greve pipe, Iron Bay regulator, Hyde mount with nose ring, and will run 15% nitro most of the time.  Need starting suggestions for props.  I've seen 17x13N and 17x12 suggested on the RCU site for the 1.60.  Other suggestions?
