Default RE: Prop size

A 32x8 will provide a lot of braking at idle due to the 8" of pitch which is very low for a prop this size. The pitch is the theroetical distance the prop will travel thru a viscous liquid in one rotation, hence the lower the number the slower the plane generally speaking. Hope this clears it up somewhat?
