This engine will pull up to a 17x13APC.... 17x10 seems like it would be under propped tad unless thats a wide blade prop. It really likes the 17x12 APC all around. APC also makes a 18x10n now that is also a good choice for slowing your plane down some. Sorry I'm off the fuel thing here!

15% Cool Power with a 17x10 APC gives me good results. 53 flights so far on original bearing and no problems.
