Hi John,
We maintained the same rubber motor weight(class rules), thus the
length of the rubber motor was reduced.

The larger diameter propeller visually seems to turn slower, and that
must be the case, since we don't run out of turns.

We used a bigger prop because the rules changed this year allowing use
to do that. We started with a large pitch and wide rubber, based on
Fred T's comment that large pitches and wide rubber work well in low
ceilings. We reduce rubber width get the turns. We would reduce prop
pitch, if the prop started to stall with reduced rubber width.

My question is something is more effecient. Larger dia prop? Higher
Pitch? Wider Rubber?
