I am wondering what makes models with smaller props do better. Since
generally, a prop has higher efficiency with larger diameter. Is the small
prop really the way to go, or is it a coincidence that the best times were
flew with small props? Furthermore, the effective size of a prop can also
be reduced by less chord or a smaller pitch, how would those measures
relate to a smaller diameter?
