Need to take advantage of my raised power level

Hey everyone,

I had my 383 build over the winter. Loving them. They run fantastic. They pull like crazy to around 5200-5300 and then absolutely stop pulling despite the engine making power until 5600.

I currently have Mirage 23p. What should I try next?

try sanding off a little of the cup from the hub out maybe 2 or 3 inches and see if that gets you over the hump

Sorry I missed this thread.

Theoretically going down 1-2 inches of pitch with the same style propeller will teach you a bunch and answer some questions for you. We can supply you with test propellers if you desire.
I would hesitate to removing cup anywhere on the propeller without precise adjustment knowledge.
