Default RE: Prop Pitch and Altitude

I've noticed when I compare my tach readings at 4000' to those of folks flying at sea level, I'm down up to 1000 rpm with the same prop and nitro. Adding any more pitch would lower these rpms even more. The engine has less air available for combustion. What I do is just go with more nitro.
