with all do respect, I can't agree. speed is the result of pitch AND rpm. A 2-stroke turning the same diameter prop with far less pitch at far more rpm can be going the same relative speed as a...

which is why I tach the Solo prop for no more than 3600 to 3800 on the ground. I don't go by the gauge on the prop. 6000 is way too high and 6500 in the danger zone.
