Von Propellern

I tried to use a radically smaller prop in order to solve the problem of the engine quitting when airborne. The Klemm flew slower, it was easier to control, I flew it on 1/2 throttle, full throttle would have meant probably a ruined engine... but it ain’t the solution. Until now I have flown props with no less than 8" step on the Klemm 35. Now I think that an ideal Propeller would be 16x5 or 16x6 or even 17x5. I will have to find a Prop of that size first in this part of the world. The other picture is a remainder that spinning props are dangerous when not handled with care.
