Also the pitch isn't "different" on a large prop. It's just whatever gives the engine the proper load, and you can adust slightly with pitch and diameter to better suit the specific application.
The issue is getting a signal to the tach, the coil 'might' provide it?
It may also have to be amplified to a usable level?
If so, I could possibly build a little amp with a few op-amps.
Something to think about.
