Default Re: Sizing your prop

Rob, I understand your confusion here...we're not sayin' best performance/ gas, etc at WOT...no, that's when you're gonna be using MOST fuel...

a prop that allows the motor the obtain it's max mfrs rpms at WOT is the correct prop and throughout the operating range, particularly at ''cruise'', will usually deliver better fuel economy than a prop that doesn't allow max rpms...hope that clears it up for ya ;) ...
