Engines and Propellers

A Simple comparison of which 2-cycle engine uses which 2-blade comes from my own observations over the years.  
Generally, in each range, the larger or more powerful the prop, the lower the engine RPM output.  

For 3-blade props I've always gone with the lower size.  Ex: a .45 might use a 11x6 2-blade prop but would use a
10x6 3-blade prop.
6x4 - 7x4
7X4 - 8X4
8X4 - 9X6
9X7 - 10X6
9X7 - 10X8
10X5 - 11X6
11X5 - 12X8
13X6 - 15X8
14X6 - 16X6
18X6 - 20X10
20X8 - 24X10
