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.
