Got one on the way 49 bucks shipped LOL. Can a 15 x 8 be reworked? To a 12 pitch.

I just had a prop balanced from a local prop shop. The prop guy told me that you can change the pitch up to 2" either way. But the efficiency of the prop decreases because you can't change the angle of the blades near the base of the blade, only at the ends.

Cool I will see how the new prop does. I have plenty of power so no issue there.
