Going larger than scale prop diameter tends to create clearance issues. Scraping prop blades against the ground or having props interfere with each other.
"Too small" of a prop on an electric motor is never a problem to the motor.
The Power 60 can turn some pretty large props, but you don't have to.

Thank you all for the input... Clearance is THE issue. I bought 14x7 for a test. It just barely clears the fuse, but it is so much closer to scale... If they make a 13x10 somewhere, please let me know!! I will buy them right now!!! LOL Thank you all for the inputs... Racing the clock, but very excited!!! Jerry

Originally posted by Ole-Timer View PostFrom everything stated, your getting there but it seems like your under proping the motors. I would expect a bit higher amp draw at WoT. After test flying my CZ T-28 with the 500Kv Power 60 that comes stock, I switched to an MA 16x10 Beechwood two blade prop. I’m right around 13lbs on that airframe and it rips with lots of extra power. I use a 6s 8000mAh battery and come in at 80Amp at WoT.
Do do you have any way to test how many pounds of force your developing on the 13x8’s...?
