We had some models from last year where we changed the prop dia from
~7.24 to ~9.5 inches. We moved the pitch from ~12 to ~18 inches and
moved the rubber width from .85 to .112 inches. Our times in the same
22 ft gym have gone up about 10%.

I am amazed that we don't run out of turns with the wider rubber. I'm
having difficulty understanding why out models work so much better
with the higher pitch and wider rubber. Anyone want to offer an
explaination?
