I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ Smile .

6x4 - 31.42A <comment Prop may stall -> static thrust may not be reached!>
5.5x4.5 27.44A <comment Prop may stall -> static thrust may not be reached!>
Prop Stall Thrust: If the Pitch is bigger than 66% of its diameter, the airflow will stall resulting in less static thrust and decreasing max. current.

here is manual for the program (link given before)
http://www.ecalc.ch/calcs/help/motorcalchelp.htm

Depending on the model I'd go for 5.5x4.5 if it's a very aerodynamic slick design (or even higher like 4.75x4.75 - 5.25x5.25)
If design has lot of drag - then I'd rather use 6x4
- just play with it Smile
