| You have selected too small a max prop dia for this hull! | |||||||||||
| If you see the "too small max prop dia" warning above, it means that the maximum prop diameter input by you | |||||||||||
| on the "Input Data Here" sheet is too small. If this is the maximum size that will fit the hull then you | |||||||||||
| need to carefully examine the hull, as there is apparently insufficient diameter available for a propeller | |||||||||||
| of appropriate size. Or you may need to reduce gearbox ratio to increase prop RPM. | |||||||||||
