  I have a copy of the current Tower Hobbies catalog and the guidelines
  as specified in there was what I was using.  The problem was in
  particular on my PT-40.  I have a GS-40 on it and was running a 10 X 6
  on it.  After a few flights I had some pilots ask what size prop I was
  using and they said I should use a 10 X 8.  I tried it and did not
  really notice much of a difference.  I noticed even in the Tower
  Hobbies catalog it gives two or three different sizes for each size
  motor.  Maybe this is a topic that can't never really be answered.
  Maybe if I can get a better price for a 10 X 6 I should use that or if
  they are having a sale on a 10 X 8 I should use that size.  Thanks for
  your reply though.
