Re: Wright Stuff B
Depending on which kit you used, it was probably the Ikara. I think Zeigler's kit comes with the narrow-bloaded Ikara and Harlan's kit used to come with the wide-blade Ikara, although he didn't make a kit this year.

Re: Wright Stuff B
You can also order Ikara (and other) props directly for three to five dollars from Peck Polymers or FAI Model Supply. Possibly other sources too.
Note, the Ikara props are light enough to need little modification for SO use, mainly trimming to diameter, possibly repitching for optimum match to your rubber. All other props that I'm aware of are cheaper, but will need more significant modification as they weigh 5-6 gms of your 7 gram budget.

Re: Wright Stuff B
Are there any other suggestions for building or modeling a good plane?

Re: Wright Stuff B
Personally, I'd suggest a broad blade ikara. If you modify it yourself a little bit, you can make a pretty efficient propeller. Don't like the regular style Ikara though. The regular style uses a blade where the majority of the plastic is behind the spar, which is pretty dumb. Blades with plastic mainly in front of the spar flex at high torque, slowing climb = more time before you hit the ceiling.

Re: Wright Stuff B
the flare is the broad blade.........
the small one doesn't have a name it's just called regular and the big one is called broad blade "flare style"
