Status: offline 		I'd say which ever 6" pitched prop that will allow the engine to spin within it's max power range. 9-6, 8-6??

Gotta think of pedaling a 10 speed bike and picking just one gear to stay in. Do you wish to acelerate from 0 ? than a go with a 5 pitch

wanna have top end and have some kinda of assisted launch ? than go with a 7 or more pitch.

Here in Q-40 land , you take a 7.5 inch prop with a 8 pitch, add 23,000RPM and stir around the pylons for 180 MPH's

Mmmmmmmmmm... Q-40

Status: offline 		Put a NELSON muffler on it... For all out speed, I think you'd want fairly short props.. with lots of pitch. But on a LA40 you're the test bed? Put a black prop APC Q40 job on it... Speed is only relative to the plane you attach it too.
