Default RE: What is the max prop RPM?

Terry, APC claims redline is 190,000 divided by the diameter. I've had their props fail below this, so make sure to always work around this stuff with both eyes closed. [8D].

If you've got a 1/2A engine capable of throwing the blades, then you've got one that is both supercharged and on nitous.
So far I've never seen any engine below a .32 break APC's golden rule.
