Hi
I am giving some thought to selling a two cylinder Global engine I have, for which I have a 54 x 24 wood prop, and getting the two cylinder 45 hp Hummel and he is suggesting something like a 58 x 22. I had not heard of that combo before, but had not researched it either. How does this prop size sound to you folks? Anyone have any experience with the 45 hp?
Thank you for your time

That should be close. I had a 35 hp 1/2 VW that used a 56x22 prop.

Perhaps, have a word with Lonnie Price of PAC. He has really helped me out with number of props for a variety of engines and air-frames over the years.
