Hi Fernando

Regarding your Propellor design:
Did you find what you were looking for?
Perhaps some easy to use and to get program?

I'm currently in the same situation, evtl. you can give me some hints..

Hi Biber,

Finally we choose a Hartzell propeller and they send to us all documents we need (including a programm file).

I think you can see some aircrafts in the same class like yours and see what propellers are they using.

This can be a start point. After that, you can make your own option, based on what you really need (and of course, based on your aircraft and engine performances calculations)

Regards
Fernando
