Default RE: Determine stall of prop at Static?

BMatthews,

Are you saying that the 15 x 1/2 would develop the same static thrust as a 15 x 6 turning at 12,000 rpm. I know the thrust calculator indicates this, but it seems like there is something missing here. I would like to see someone do some Empirical tests here.


6 - 8 pitch sounds good for maximum, although I thought it would be closer to 4 to 6 because I have herd people talking about 8 pitch props having stall at static.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Steve
