Propeller; Batteries And Charger; Additional Items Required; Required Hardware And Accessories - GREAT PLANES Christen Eagle .46 Instruction Manual

Propeller

If you are installing a glow engine, choose a prop based
on the engine manufacturer's recommendation. If you are
installing the recommended RimFire brushless motor, we
suggest a 13x10E APC propeller.
