Higher speeds with 30" labbed Bravo One props.
I think even 32" Bravo have been used but I am not sure ?
Props are spinning out.
Gear ratio 1.65:1
Personally I run std. 28" Bravo One props so I have great acceleration but lower top speed (72-75 MPH). I am considering trying higher pitch props, but I am afraid to loose mid range efficiency. Too high slippage in the cruising mid range and the fuel economy is gone, and the cost of gas here is app. 9.5 USD/gallon so I prefer low slippage

What props are you using ?
