I'm not necessarily looking for an entire assembly, just any 5.5" prop that
I can find at a store or my local hobby shop. At this point I'm going to
settle for one of the 5" props I have and see how it goes. I have one from
a Guillows model, and another from an Estes model.

The proposal had the rules below.

27. P-18 event 227
27.1 Except for the specific rules that apply to this event, the rules for
free flight rubber hand launched stick shall apply.
27.2 The model shall be a rubber powered monoplane covered with either
tissue or HDPE plastic shopping bag material.
27.3 The wing shall not exceed 4.5 inch chord and projected span of 18
inches. Horizontal stabilizer shall not exceed maximum span of 9 inches
with a maximum chord of 3.5 inches. Maximum overall length, including the
propeller shall not exceed 18 inches.
27.4 The propeller shall be an unmodified commercially available unit with
a maximum diameter of 5.5 inches. Weight may be added to the blade for
balancing.
27.5 The maximum hook to hook distance shall not exceed 10 inches.
27.6. The minimum weight of the completed model, less rubber, shall be 7.5
grams.
