......and now, back to the build............

I need help picking a prop for this bad boy. I have everything ready to run her except a prop. I have a back cut 3 blade gas prop that is 62mm. Is that too big to start with with this set up?

[lenny]

I would start with a x452 and see what the does for temps and running.

I agree with Lenny about starting small, although the 52mm may be too small to plane well. You'll just have to try it. That motor should handle a 55mm to 58mm prop, but a 62mm 3-blade would be a stretch. Start small, run for one minute (timed!), bring it in to check temps, send it out for another minute, etc. This takes time to do but with your setup and virtually no experience by others it is the safest way to proceed.
