Default Yo FC...

If you look at the advise that painless and jlong gave you, you will see a common thread. Even though the prop you were running was just a 7.2 X 8.6 (I think I'm right ), the load on the engine was greater than the load of the 8.5X5. So it got on the pipe.

And resonated like they do when all the bits come together!! So that is GOOD!

But I have to say that painless and jlong are right..you just need to get a smaller diameter/higher pitched prop to get on the pipe.

And I think now that I have heard where your pipe comes on, you ought to put the 7.2X8.6 back on there and do a pinch test.. I have to think you should have come on the pipe but were just too rich. If you are getting on the pipe at all with some 8.5" dia prop, you should be able to get on in a dive with a 7.2X8.6 IMHO. The GRRT will pull a 7.2X8.6, just has to.

Happy trails!
