I suggest getting a 28x10mej. I haven't heard of this occuring on a larger prop with the pipe.
Forget about the engine load, but replace engine load with noise load.
A well tuned 80cc engine on pipes will turn in the 5800 - 6500 rpm range, and the prop should suit the power the engine will deliver at those rpm. Larger diameter/larger pitch props perform much better in ALL respects, and do not produce deafening noise (>80dbA) at the pilot's position. It takes some getting used to, but once accomplisleshed it proves that small props just produce the FEELING of plenty gusto, without producing the PERFORMANCE.
