Default RE: Engine Choice

Mike and Gary

Thanks, but I'm a little confused what Gary means when he says thrust vs speed. Am I understanding correctly when you say that the longer prop with less pitch will spin the engine slower, but generate more thrust? And in reverse, a shorter prop with more pitch will spin the engine faster and generate less thrust?

So, a 16x4 will make the plane faster than a 14x7???
