[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 457206, member: 15636"] 11% slip is pretty good ... But FORGET about speed ... you TOTALLY missed that proper RPMs are what you want. Find out what the maximum RPMs are for that motor and I would prop it so you are no less than 200 off the maximum, with you and 1/3 to 1/2 fuel and all the gear typically carried. Best performance, carrying capability, and longgevity for the motor will be when you are wearing the correct prop and are turning towards the higher end of that maximum recommended RPM range.
