Default props???

If you are comparing props for the same engine/airplane setup the following formula is a good starting point.

MPH= RPM x Prop Pitch X 0.000947

This is course compares only one prop against another. Which is what you are trying to do. You will now have to match the prop to the airplane to determine the true airspeed. For that you have to try it and fly it in the time honoured fashion.
