I'm running through the yaw stability calculations (still... if only I had more time!) and calculating the propeller yaw and normal moment coefficients.

Obviously there are a lot of educated guesses which are made around the propeller that will actually be installed as small propeller manufacturers provide little data.

So given that the coefficients will vary based on what is actually installed I would assume there is a resource that is typically used for design purposes. And how much do these values really change by? (not having iterated several results myself). Can anyone with more experience comment on the accuracy/validity of calculating propeller coefficients in the real world?
