Re: Had a great ride today!!!
Hey Pat, I put on a stock 30 B1 and today was able to spin it 5500 rpm. The last time I tried this prop I wrote down 5200 rpm max. I must have made a mistake 
I would like to try a Maximus and see if I can increase cruise. With the 30, I was at 57 mph @ 3700 rpm. Hopefully top end will not suffer.
Gary, I'm getting 5 lbs of boost. I do not get into boost until about 4500 rpm.

The 5 blade will likely give you a better cruise, but I doubt you will go faster on top. Your slip % is not that bad...
