Default Vintage K&B 61 power RPM


Hi, I have a Sig Kadet that performs well with the OS 46AX, I needed the 46 for another airframe so the Kadet now has my K&B 61 mounted.
The 61 will turn the 11x7 prop 12,200 RPM
The 46 was turning 10x6 15,000 RPM
Am I correct in thinkling the 61 is going to be sluggish comapred to the 46?

I was hoping for the Kadet to become a handful of fun with the 61 but not unless it makes a bunch more torqe because the RPM just doesn't come close to the 46.
