Guest lohring Report post #11 Posted October 24, 2013 That solution was responsible for the sudden increase in the G1 SAW speeds. The engines are rpm limited so more pitch is the only answer. You don't need to get quite that fancy if you have a prop duplicator of the stock or cupped prop. Cut most of the blade from the leading edge, and bend each blade up the same amount from the mold. Then carefully rebraze the blade to the hub. Heat treating the prop afterward is a good idea as well. Lohring Miller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
