The higher pitch translates to more speed (so I'm told)
This is only true to a certain degree. If the prop pitch is so high that it doesn't allow the engine to reach optimum RPM's the speed will decrease. A high pitch prop will also decrease the vertical performance.
Thats right higer pitch at the SAME rpm means more horizontal speed, but you will loose some vertical perfomance. The key is to get as much pitch while keeping the rpm's up.
