[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 486498, member: 3278"] [size=5]when you get down into the lower pitch propellers you will normally find that their overall profile is not designed for speed. They are designed to plane larger loads. The 9" pitch prop you currently have is the one to stay with. 6500 with one person is in the ballpark. That engine can turn more RPM but an 8" pitch propeller is almost like a fan blade instead of a propeller!![/size] [/QUOTE]
