    what propeller

    I have a STARMAX CESSNA (1600mm) that I need a prop for. I, of course, had the nose wheel/rudder 180degs out nose wheel left, rudder right..Taxing in my drive and I ran it aground, broke a blade off the prop, and lo and behold...no markings at all on the prop. So far I have seen a 12X8, a 11X6 and a 14X8..any help? Its equiped with a 3548 KV600 motor. When I scribe it out, pencil on blade tip, pinned in the middle, I get a 12" arc....no idea how to estimate/measure the pitch....:dodgy:

    Wallyb..........Welcome to the Squawk.
    Based on the motor descript(kV600) and the Actual prop arc measurement you did of 12" the obvious choice is the 12x8.
    The 14" would most likely not allow appropriate ground clearance.
    These are rather robust electric props.
