This is a good point. With my recent crash in a paddock due to a fuel blockage, the engine was still running and I could not maintain height. If I had a finer pitched prop would it had helped? I only needed 2000 feet to be able to glide to the neares strip, my home strip.
Just another un-answered question.

The question is will that KR have enough power to sustain flight or even climb? When is to much pitch to much for safety margins?
