Ya, but if you like to take off and go straight up. You want all the rpm's you can muster.

What's red line on the motor, 5800 rpm? If you had full throttle and set the stops at low pitch to hit 5800 rpm, you've got max power.
Ya, but you can lower the rpm's by pulling up. There is no way to static this type of thing in my opinion. Trust me, no washers against the motor and you get a great take off but you will need to hit the switch to repitch as you are flying out. Sooner if you just do a normal take off, not at all when your having fun. Placement of the switch is critical, I put mine right next to the throttle, my thumb is on the switch, the palm of my hand on the throttle, oh and friction lock is the way to go. I have down for less rpm, up for more rpm.

Sure, makes sense. You have no choice butto manage it all with no governor. That's a step up in price for a prop. Good thing I don't need one right away.
