[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 419699, member: 3278"] [size=5]What Dale is trying to tell you is that it takes horsepower to pull props. You are at the limit of what you can do with the 15" prop. Any more prop pitch (17") and the engine will be slower on acceleration to plane and be down on RPM. Even more so with a 19". In short...you have the correct propeller on it now. If your next question is about what happens to the engine with too much prop....the answer is that it becomes more prone to failure as the load increases. [/size] [/QUOTE]
