Default RE: Relationship between pitch and thrust?

As you can see, for "normal" model aircraft propellers, static thrust is almost independent of pitch, but depends strongly on the diameter.
Be careful with that assumption, because the graph is in Watts, and not rpm!
With same diameter and same watts, the disk loading is the same, and so is the generated static thrust. RPM will be different for all props though. Higher for the low pitch, and lowest for the high pitch.
