I just don't understand props. My 1834 cc, VW engine on the SSSC just turns 3200 rpm at WOT but climbs 1200 + fpm with my fat 235 lbs and still cruises at 80 mph at 2650/2700 rpm. The prop is a Culver 60"x 26" pitch.
32" pitch on it would be to much pitch and the WOT rpm's would be a lot lower. ?????????????
Do you think the pitch on my prop is really much more than the 26" stamped on the prop ?
Added--- Going to WOT at the start of the take-off roll, it has very good acceleration.
