Al,

 

I have the IVO Magnum in flight adjustable 3 blade prop with 45 to 105 inch pitch range.  I believe it is 68 inches long, but it MAY be 66 inches.  I do not think I could go much longer as I would be concerned about clearance issues with the ground.

Chris;

 

I have a fixed pitch 3-blade 66” dia, 80 pitch on my 20B; and get static rpm of about 5400 with the 2.17:1 re-drive. Same specs on different props will give different results, but it would suggest that you are not getting near full pitch.

Al
