The prop companies have the computer software to work out exactly what you need. Depends a lot on the engine and gearbox ratio. I have a Warp Drive and love it, IVO is great, so is Kiev Props, and I had a wood Culver that was really nice. 

Here is a list of many of them:  https://www.pilotmix.com/aviation-resources/propeller-manufacturers

Keep your eyes open on barnstormers.  Deals come along every once in a while.  2 blade 66-68" ground adjustable will be fine, IVO would even say a 3 blade up to 68".  The Avids with 532 came with a Perry 71" X ?? wood fixed pitch from the factory.   There is a 2 blade Warp drive on barnstormers right now that has never been used for $425, but it's a right hand.  You need a left hand.  If you don't need it right away, watch and a deal will come along.  Otherwise you will spend more and it will sit on the shelf collecting dust till you need it.  You can also run a wanted add on barnstormers, and maybe that will shake one loose that was just hanging on a wall somewhere.  JImChuk

There are some pretty smart fellas on this site. Most have made the same dumb mistakes as others and not afraid to admit it either. I sure have made my share in my homebuilding career. Experience is a great teacher, sometimes tuition is costly, too. Most homebuilders will have a master's degree in "going dumb" on occasion. No offense, but if you haven't made a few errors, you haven't built anything.

I had a Power Fin once. Never flew with it but it was a beautiful prop And would not be afraid to fly behind one.

GSC Systems in Vernon, B.C. makes really nice ground adjustable. With the US-CAD exchange it should be almost free for you.:lmao:

I have two GSC props that came with it. Both have a bad blade.

They can probably fix them for cheap. Worth a call.

Called GSC and all I need is one new blade and I should have a good prop. About 200 bucks roughly.
