Default RE: Faster flight using different prop, Question?

Prop pitch is what gives the plane its speed. More pitch=more speed. But more pitch=more power too.

To keep it in balance, you need to reduce diameter while increasing pitch. A 15x12 would be the next logical step, and should give you about 20% more speed while keeping power about the same.
