Prop Question
I'm currently running a Saito 45 with an 11-6 prop I would like to switch to a 10" prop for more ground clearance but I'm not sure what pitch to use. Does anyone have any ideas?

Wrong!
If you want to retain the same propeller load on the engine, which as I understand is your basic question, you must add 2 to the pitch for each inch you subtract in diameter.
An 11x6 will be equal in load to a 10x8, or to a 12x4.
You can use the Reivers thrust calculator to demonstrate it to yourself. All three props will spin around the same RPM, on a given output (HP) level.
