10x7, 3 blade Master Airscrew with stock muffler and baffle on 15% will be 11,700 and with the Ultrathrust or Jett muffler 14,000. If you want more RPM with the stock muffler you may need to trim about than 1/8" off the tips, re-shape and re-balance. The other M.A 3 blade props are too small or too big. You may loose some top speed performance. I hope you are looking for ground clearance or air braking.

Show, check out these Graupners about 2/3rds of the way down this page. there are some 10 and 11 inchers with some interesting fractional pitches. I am a big Graupner fan, (no pun). They look cool and turn engine power into porward motion very well. As you can see, I have a few.
