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.

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?
